A swimming beach is a designated area along a body of water, such as an ocean, lake or river, where people can go to swim and enjoy recreational activities in the water. These beaches often have lifeguards on duty, and may also offer other amenities like changing rooms, showers, food concessions, and picnic areas. Swimming at a beach is a popular activity for families and individuals looking to cool off during warm weather or engage in water sports such as swimming, diving, snorkeling, paddleboarding, kayaking, and more.
