If you live in a coastal town, whether you have an oceanfront home or not, you want to exemplify the area you live in. It can be a fun project to make your backyard a seaside resort. Surprisingly, you can do this at a pretty affordable price compared to other landscaping styles. So, if you want to design your backyard beach, take a look at some of the fun ideas to incorporate below.
Designing Your Backyard Beach
Sand
If you have enough space, you could include a sand area or dune in your backyard. The presence of sand will make your backyard feel like a beach. You can do this by using landscape fencing and creating a beachy seating area with space for a fire pit. You could create little mounds of sand to give the impression of dunes.
Fire Pit
A fire pit in your backyard is a nice element, especially for entertaining others. You can make your firepit area look exceptionally beachy by adding Adirondack chairs and placing this entire scene in a sand pit area.
Saltwater Pool
If you are considering the addition of a pool a saltwater pool will make you feel like you are at the beach. If you already have a pool, you can convert it to a saltwater pool, but you need a professional expert to assist with this conversion. Saltwater pools are eco-friendly but more expensive.
Pond with a Beach
You can add a pond water feature to your backyard and use a sandy beach area to come up to the edge creating your backyard beach. You want to use a sloping grade that leads into the water.
Outdoor Shower
Outdoor showers are exceptionally handy for living near the coast and your backyard beach oasis. This allows you to clean off before entering your home and prevents you from tracking in the elements.
Palm Trees
If you want to create a beach oasis then using palm trees will certainly elevate the space and bring in the beach. This will give you a tropical atmosphere.
Tiki Bar
If you are thinking about entertaining, then adding a bar to your backyard will bring out the fun. If you are keeping it beachy then make it a tiki bar. Create a tropical beach atmosphere in your backyard kitchen and bar. Consider a built-in barbecue and patio awning. You will have a great entertaining space and one your guest will be talking about.
In Conclusion
Your backyard beach is going to be your favorite part of your property if you take the time to plan it out well and do your research. Consider the natural elements around you and how you can use them to your advantage. Creating an entertaining space like this can make your property near the ocean a great Airbnb or vacation home for you and your family.
