Oh I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside!

Lot Type: Community Lot Size: 4x4 Extra: Loads well

All meshes and recolours are included - this is a one stop shop shop...thing.

I've made a few seaside lots and I must admit I LOVE making them. I have usually gone with what I term a *cartoon* coloured sea - but not this time.

Set on 3 tiers reaching up from the sidewalk to a boardwalk along the sea wall and stretching out across the sand and sea along a jetty. At the end of the jetty is a diving board for a refreshing dip in the beautiful sea and of course
a ladder for getting out. Special invisible barriers ensure your Sim won't start swimming into the sand The outdoor market area on the first tier boasts one shop selling grocery items and another selling clothing, perfumes, games and magazines. There is also a flower stand but it seems the owner has done a bunk for the moment - but it does add extra colour and life. The second tier houses an outdoor coffeeshop and patisserrie and your Sims can practice their karaoke skills and wow their friends! Across the way is a full a'la carte restaurant and bar complete with a jukebox and small dancefloor. The third tier or *boardwalk* has access to the jetty and swimming, separate mens and womens *facilities* and an outdoor shower for rinsing off after a swim. There are also 2 sets of stairs leading down to the beach where there is plenty of room to add grill areas or to stage a nightime bonfire and singalong.

I hope this brings some cheer into the winter lives of my northern hemisphere simming mates and makes my fellow Aussies (who don't live out in the landlocked sticks like me) think of what beaches to go to next weekend!
