It’s very UNLIKELY for the simple fact that if they were releasing a tropical beach world soon, they would save the content for that pack rather than for free.

Anyway, they released a mini stuff pack as free content in 2017 around the same time.

It seems the free/engagement team have some extra funding probably due to the lack of patches needed at this time of year to support new packs as Q3 is always dry.

By giving us this free Caribbean stuff now that frees up a beach pack to add bigger stuff like resorts,swimming in the ocean,beach activites and maybe more pool items since it's looking like we're not going to get a pool stuffpack.

Cat - actually most things you are looking for in a pool pack cannot even be in a stuff pack. Graham had replied to some Q&A's a while back about things he and his team could do in sps - and he specifically said they couldn't do lounge chairs, water slides and other things because they required a certain type of engineer that sps are not even allotted any time at all for - even some water toys and games may be out because of that requirement for that type of animator/ engineer in this game. So what will that leave you but more bathing suits, more colors for the water, more sunglasses and towels to lay on - really not much at all for the type of things I have seen you list you want.

I really think it will be only through a gp you will get pool stuff and seeing we already had a vacation gp this year - it may be next year before you get that.

Many of us are expecting a supernatural gp hopefully next - to be fair.

Why do some people think that beaches = tropical?

Brighton Beach has 'gravel', most beaches in England are sand.

I mean, just about any country that isn't landlocked has beaches. Although when it comes to beach getaways, certain RL locations come to mind first.

And it is Brighton that I really want as a seaside 'vacation' location. <3

By "beaches" I'm guessing you mean sand, because gravel beaches are still beaches.

Do I need to explain a joke?

Brighton and it's pier are what I usually think of when people talk about a beach holiday... well, aside from Australian beach holidays.
I grew up not far from where they filmed Jaws. The beaches here are boring. Just look at all that sand!

It still looks lovely though. Some of the beaches here are unfortunately polluted. :( And at worst you can still swim, tan, and play with the sand on that beach you showed. And surf if the waves are decent enough.

The beaches here with booming tourism also offer other fun stuff like banana boats, parasailing, jet skis, glass bottom boat rides, kayaking, etc. There are a lot of activities to choose from when creating a beach-themed pack. :smiley:

We don't really think that, but most worlds we have right now have beaches and aren't tropical: Brindleton Bay, the get together world that I completely forgot the name of... etc.

This is why most people assume a future beach pack=tropical. But as I've said before, it could very well be a mediterranean/australian/latin american beach pack.

The majority of the coast in this region is surfable.
But it can get pretty gross when seaweed washes up in heaps and mounds along the pretty white sand... and is in the water, and tangles on you if you try to swim, and is full of icky lice, and it stinks like rotting vegetation... a huge oceanic compost heap.

Oh, and did I mention Jaws? Sharks are an issue here, and there are no flags to swim between.

Exactly, we already have beaches. Beaches do not have to be tropical. And if they were to have Australian tropical beaches, they would be unswimable. :p

If everyone is correct that a beach pack is next, where it will be based is a moot point as they lock down the world first and it would be already under construction.

why would they release another vacation pack so soon after releasing one? Wouldn't they be more likely to go for something different next?
