Beach Access & Day Clubs

Beach access guides, chair rental prices, and club day passes at top destinations.

Beach clubs and resort beaches sell day passes the same way resorts sell pool access. The headline number is friendly and the bill is much larger once you add loungers, umbrellas, food minimums, and parking. We verify what each pass actually includes before you hand over a card.

Some beaches are genuinely free with a cheap chair rental a short walk away; others gate the only good stretch of sand behind a club. We tell you which is which, and when the pass is worth it.
