Business on the beach from A to Z. Detailed instructions - from renting a beach to arranging entertainment

  • 22.02.2024

"Summer, sun, sea, beach, this evening will be ours!" - these are the words that ring in the minds of most holidaymakers heading to the cool water and hot sands to spend their long-awaited vacation.

Some have in their pocket a luxury trip to foreign countries, giving them the opportunity to relax for a week or two in all inclusive style. And others rush on trains, buses or private cars towards the coastal expanses of our homeland. Both are united by a feeling of lightness and a great desire to have fun spending the money earned during the year.

Therefore, residents of resort towns not only happily rent out even the smallest living space at their disposal, but also make great money from trading and organizing summer beach entertainment. Business on the beach is developing by leaps and bounds, annually bringing its owners a very good income.

Ninety days a year

Unfortunately, earnings from vacationers are seasonal. On average, only three months a year our compatriots have the opportunity to make a profit. And only in some regions of the country the number of “profitable” days can be increased by a maximum of sixty more.

The period is short, but a properly organized business on the beach can generate income sufficient to open another business of your own. In addition, the entire working day will be spent at the edge of the sea, under the warm rays of the sun. Such workdays promise a fun and serene pastime.

On your marks!

Summer is coming, there is a desire and opportunity to earn money. Where to start? First you need to decide on a way to make a profit.

All existing ideas on how to successfully organize a business on the beach can be divided into two main categories:

  • the first does not require large investments: this includes selling food, renting out storage units, renting umbrellas and other inexpensive beach accessories;
  • the second needs significant investments: rental points for equipment for recreation and water sports, attractions and other entertainment, summer cafes and restaurants, beach rental with its subsequent improvement.

Based on the opinions of experienced businessmen, we can say that organizing a small business will require only a thousand US dollars. And such funds can be found quickly and without unnecessary difficulties. There would be a desire!

Simple business ideas

It's not that hard to make money on the beach. Probably everyone who has rested near the water at least once in their life has heard the shouts of passing merchants: “Seeds, dried fish, hot corn!” Selling such an inexpensive product can bring in a decent income. To purchase it you will need “pennies”, and the profit will exceed the expense several times.

Unfortunately, everything has its drawbacks:

  • Such an activity is incredibly tiring, because not everyone can walk all day under the scorching sun with a heavy bag at the ready, and a hired employee can be seriously let down and even run away with all the proceeds.
  • This type of business requires permission from the SES, work without it threatens big troubles. However, the vast majority of such traders work illegally, since the preparation of the necessary documents is so expensive that all further activities lose all meaning.

The above example describes only one of the few ways to make money on the beach without having a large starting capital. In the list of low-cost methods of earning money you can find the storage room described above, the sale of kvass and other soft drinks. You can also organize a small massage room or provide the services of a swimming coach.

Almost anyone can turn simple business ideas into reality; you just need to find the most suitable one. And most importantly, do not violate existing rules and laws.

Comfort for your money

Recently, the requirement for the level of comfort among our compatriots has increased significantly. And if ten years ago everyone, without hesitation, laid a bedding directly on the sand, laid out sandwiches and cut a watermelon, today such a vacation will attract only a few.

Beach improvement has become the number one issue in most resort towns. Vacationers need modern toilets and showers. They want to drink refreshing cocktails in small cozy bars located directly on the sand, or lie on comfortable sun loungers under the shade of umbrellas. And children simply need safe playgrounds and shallow pools with clean water. Such arrangement of beaches can bring considerable income.

This is my beach!

It is established by law that all citizens of our country have the right of unhindered access to any water bodies and the 20-meter zone adjacent to them. That is, you cannot fence off the beaches and charge money for entry. But how to rent a beach without violating the established rules?

In order for a legal entity to use any piece of the sea, river or coastal zone for its own commercial purposes, it is necessary to conclude an appropriate agreement. It spells out all the rules for using the rented area, what the tenant has the right to and what is strictly prohibited.

Similar documents are issued by the Federal Water Resources Agency. Its divisions are located in every region of the country. Only after receiving the necessary permits can you begin to improve the beach and charge a fee for the provision of services.

Owners of coastal attractions claim that entertainment on land and water is very popular among vacationers. This business on the beach can be called one of the most profitable and quickly pays off.

Everyone who has ever visited a well-maintained beach must have ridden the water slides. This is perhaps the most striking attraction that can attract both children and adults. It is absolutely safe and does not require special skills or special physical training from the user. Therefore, in the first season of work, you can fully recoup the investment in such a business.

Activities on the beach often include riding various watercraft. It could be a catamaran, jet ski, water ski, banana. The use of such watercraft is associated with some risk to life, and the entrepreneur needs an experienced instructor on staff. All clients will also need to be equipped with personal flotation equipment.

I'm walking on water

A fairly new and very attractive, from an entrepreneur’s point of view, water attraction is the Zorb. It is a transparent plastic ball about two meters in diameter. A person is placed inside the container, air is pumped in and pushed into the water.

The ball moves along the surface, and at this time the client spins inside, turning upside down, or carefully “walks on the water.” The employee keeps the balloon on the rope at all times and can quickly return it to shore in case of an emergency.

Buying a Zorb will cost one and a half thousand dollars, and only one worker will be required to operate it. If you place such a ball in a crowded place, its cost will pay off in less than a month.

I'm on my way with the wind

Windsurfing and kitesurfing can also be an excellent way to earn money. Renting equipment for these sports is very popular. Of course, it is impossible to sail while standing on a narrow board, or to fly behind a parachute without prior preparation. Therefore, you can always hire an instructor at rental stores and then master the skill in a few lessons.

I'll take a piece of the sea with me

Finally, let's discuss the topic of souvenirs. Every tourist strives to bring with them from their vacation a small reminder of a fun time spent. To do this, buy cute, inexpensive trinkets decorated with images of the resort. These are mainly magnets, mugs, and small figurines. Such little things are required to be brought to all relatives, friends and colleagues. Visitors buy them in huge quantities, not counting the money spent.

A small retail outlet with a similar product, located in a place where vacationers gather, can bring in unexpectedly high income. Of course, competition in this type of activity is very high, but there are also quite a lot of buyers. The main thing is that there is a wide and attractive assortment on the counter, and that customers are served by a smiling and contactable salesperson.

After a cold winter and May thunderstorms, summer always comes. Tourists will come to soak up the water's edge, and seasonal entrepreneurs will be able to receive their long-awaited income.
