What Makes This Special

Sandy Shores Beaches completely reimagines the Alamo Sea area with professional landscaping, functional marina facilities, and immersive beach environments. Every detail — from still water at the marina to prevent boats from drifting, to custom walking paths and editable signage — is designed to create a living, breathing waterfront community that expands your server's roleplay possibilities.

Core Features

• Custom Beach Areas - Professionally designed sandy beaches with natural landscaping, beach access points, and scenic coastline. Multiple beach zones provide variety for sunbathing, volleyball, parties, or relaxation roleplay.
• Walking Paths & Boardwalks - Extensive pedestrian pathways connect all areas of the marina. Jogging, walking, or cruising the boardwalk creates casual social opportunities.
• Functional Marina Complex - Complete boat docking facility with slips, piers, walkways, and nautical infrastructure. Organize boat storage, yacht clubs, or charter services.
• LifeGuard HQ Interior - Fully detailed lifeguard headquarters with office space, equipment storage, tower access, and staff areas. Essential for beach safety roleplay and emergency response.
• Boat Rental Interior - Complete rental shop interior with customer service area, boat key storage, rental agreements desk, and watercraft displays. Run a legitimate boat rental business.
• Launch Ramp - Dedicated boat launch with proper gradient and water access. Trailer boats, launch vessels, or recover watercraft easily.
• Still Water Technology - Marina area features calm, still water that prevents boats from drifting away. No more chasing runaway boats — they stay put when docked.
• Optional Alamo Sea Bridge - Included bridge spans part of the Alamo Sea, adding visual interest and providing additional access routes. Enable or disable based on your server needs.
• Editable Signage (YTDs) - All signs are editable texture files. Customize marina names, rental prices, safety warnings, or business branding to match your server identity.

Optimization & Performance

• Fully Optimized with LODs - Proper level-of-detail models ensure smooth performance even when viewing marina from distance. No FPS drops when approaching area.
