Bliss Bay Beach and Boardwalk

Overview

The beaches and boardwalk of Bliss Bay form the heart of the city's coastal identity. Stretching across the western and southern shoreline, the waterfront is divided into multiple named areas, each with its own character and activities. From surfing and swimming to outdoor fitness and fishing, the beach district offers the widest variety of outdoor recreation in Bliss Bay. The boardwalk connects many of these areas with food vendors, seating, and scenic views of the ocean.

Beach Areas

North Beach is the primary social hub along the shoreline and serves as a gathering spot for social events. Sunset Bay offers a more relaxed atmosphere, with a long pier ideal for romantic walks and evening fishing.

Activities

Surfing

Bliss Bay is the only city where surfing is available. Surfboards are scattered along the beach, primarily near the western coastline by Muscle Beach and the pier area. Surfing requires Fitness Level 3 or higher and the Zoi must be a Young Adult or older. The activity is available from 9:00 AM to 6:59 PM and builds the Fitness skill.

Swimming

Zois can swim by walking into the ocean. Swimming starts automatically once the Zoi is deep enough. Energy drains continuously while swimming, and a Zoi who swims for approximately three continuous in-game hours risks drowning. Players should monitor their Zoi's energy and return to shore before exhaustion sets in.

Fishing

Fishing is available at Sunset Bay and North Beach. North Beach has docks and piers extending into the ocean with tackle boxes (look for the cooler bags). Bliss Bay fishing spots are saltwater locations, meaning the available species differ from the freshwater spots in Dowon. Free fishing is always available, or spend 5 Meow for advanced bait to increase the chance of rare catches.

Beach Volleyball

A dedicated Beach Volleyball Court is a community lot located on the west side of the map, near Muscle Beach. Zois can play pickup games here as a social and recreational activity.

Skateboarding

The Skate-Park community lot is near the beach district, where Zois can practice and develop their skating skills.

Muscle Beach

Muscle Beach is an unmarked outdoor gym located near the Beach Volleyball Court on the western side of the city. It features squat racks, barbell bench presses, pull-down machines, and free weights. Unlike Harang River Park's cardio-focused riverside gym in Dowon, Muscle Beach emphasizes strength training equipment. Since it sits on public property, players can place additional equipment using the Edit City feature at no cost. Muscle Beach is one of only two outdoor gym locations in the game.

Dining and Shopping

Several dining and retail locations sit along or near the boardwalk, providing food and services to beachgoers.

Posey's Surf Shop also offers a Cashier position as an active career, making it one of the few retail jobs in the beach area.
