Coastal areas are those which are most visited by tourists and in many coastal areas tourism presents the most important economic activity. Some beaches have man-made infrastructures, such as lifeguard posts, changing rooms, and showers.
They may also have hospitality venues such as resorts, camps, hotels, and restaurants nearby. Beach resorts evolve from natural contexts through the expansion of accommodation and other recreational functions. With greater size, they lose their natural characteristics and become increasingly urbanized.
The transition from natural to urban resort is often rapid, with some beach resorts being transformed into cities in less than two decades. The large numbers of international and domestic tourists that frequent beach resorts provide economic opportunities for governments, businesses, and those seeking employment.
