Average price of a beach day in selected beach destinations in Sweden 2018

*The daily price was calculated by summing up the costs for sunscreen, water, beer, ice cream, lunch and facility fees.

The single costs are defined by the source as follows:
Sunscreen: The sunscreen cost was calculated by taking the average cost of a 200 ml SPF 30 bottle from a store in local resort/hotel, a hostel and local pharmacy or supermarket (all where available).
Water: The final water cost was calculated by taking an average of the price for a 500 ml bottle from the three largest local brands from a store in local resort/hotel, a hostel and local pharmacy or supermarket (all where available).
Beer: Beer costs were calculated by calculating an average between the domestic beer prices, and the retail cost of Heineken, Budweiser, Becks, Guinness and Fosters at local prices, where available.
Ice cream: Ice cream costs were calculated by taking an average pre-packaged branded ice cream price in the capital city of each country and applying consumer produce cost differences to each area, where applicable.
Lunch: Lunch costs were calculated by taking the average full meal cost, including a drink and dessert, for one person from a beach bar or the closest establishments to the beach (largely within tourist areas), including hotels and restaurants.
Facility Fee: This cost looks at any potential entrance fee to the beach, in addition to the cost of renting a sun lounger and an umbrella for one day. When a sun lounger was not available, other seating option prices were substituted, such as for a beach chair or hammock.
