The general "beach" amenity code marks properties near or with access to a beach, distinct from the stricter "beachfront" code which implies direct, immediate access. It covers a broader set of coastal properties — a short walk to the sand rather than steps from the door — and is worth understanding as a separate, less exclusive filter than beachfront when browsing coastal listings.
When you open Airbnb's search filter panel, you'll see options for basic amenities like "Wifi" and "Pool." But for more specific features like Beach, the filter may not appear at all — or it's buried so deep that most travellers never find it. Airbnb has assigned an internal amenity code to Beach (code: 381), but their UI simply doesn't expose it.
This forces travellers into one of two bad options: read through every listing description hoping the host mentioned it, or book somewhere and discover the amenity isn't available after you arrive.
How CustomBNB Lets You Filter by Beach
CustomBNB aggregates all of Airbnb's internal amenity codes — including Beach (code 381) — and surfaces them through a simple, searchable interface. When you click the search button, CustomBNB generates an Airbnb URL with the amenity code appended, sending you directly to pre-filtered results on Airbnb's platform.
You're not leaving Airbnb's ecosystem — you're just arriving with your filters already set. CustomBNB requires no account to try, and takes under 30 seconds. For a deeper look at how Airbnb's hidden filter system works, read our complete guide to Airbnb's hidden amenity codes.

Tips for Booking an Airbnb with Beach
Verify the Beach before you commit
Airbnb amenities are self-reported by hosts. Before booking, scan the listing photos for the Beach, check that recent reviews mention it positively, and read the "Things to know" section for any caveats. A filter match is a starting point — not a guarantee.
Message the host to confirm if it's a dealbreaker
If Beach is essential to your trip, send the host a quick message before booking to confirm it's available and in working order for your dates. Most hosts respond within a few hours. Getting it in writing also protects you if there's a dispute after check-in.
What else to look for in the listing
Don't assume "beach" access means the same as beachfront — ask the host for the actual walking distance and route to the beach, since it can range from a two-minute stroll to a longer walk requiring a road crossing. Ask whether beach essentials (chairs, umbrellas) are provided or need to be arranged separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Airbnb have a Beach filter?
