The arrival of summer means that beach bars are once again occupying a prominent place in the coastal landscape. These spaces, which combine food service, relaxation and meeting points, must adapt quickly to a dynamic and highly demanding environment.
To install them on the beach, it is essential to obtain the proper licences, including the activity authorisation granted by the corresponding local council. One of the main requirements for approval is compliance with health regulations, which establish specific conditions of hygiene, cleanliness and food safety. In this sense, the choice of materials is not a secondary issue: it directly influences the viability of the project.
Stainless steel provides an effective and proven solution in this context. Its corrosion resistance, smooth and non-porous surfaces that facilitate daily disinfection, and its stability to temperature changes make it a particularly suitable choice for outdoor kitchens, service counters and work surfaces.
Beyond meeting the health criteria that licensing authorities value, the proximity to the sea presents clear challenges. Constant humidity, exposure to the sun, environmental salinity and thermal variations accelerate the deterioration of surfaces and structures when the right materials are not used. Faced with this scenario, more and more people are opting for construction and equipment solutions that can withstand these conditions without difficulty.
In seasonal businesses, where setup and takedown must be fast and efficient, having strong but light furniture is an added advantage. The elements made of stainless steel, in addition to being functional, can be reused for several seasons, reducing waste and improving the profitability of the initial investment. At the same time, and taking into account the environment in which they are located (stainless steel showers, handrails and litter bins), they maintain a professional and neutral aesthetic that fits in with the different equipment already installed on the coast.
Choosing reliable, hygienic materials that are designed to withstand the environment, is a decision that directly impacts the granting of the licence and the quality of the service offered to visitors.
