Activities[edit | edit source]
There are various activities around the beach, which can be used to gain experience in different skills. The different activities and events will give you the opportunity to earn experience in the following skills: Construction, Cooking, Dungeoneering, Farming, Fishing, Hunter, Ranged, and Strength. Players can find strange and golden rocks and golden cape shards for the respective skills used in each activity. Unique item tokens can also be a rare prize from any of the activities.
The filling of a temperature gauge to the left of the screen indicates how close the player is to reaching the daily activity cap, which can be reset up to three or six times a day, depending whether a heatwave is active or not, by eating an ice cream for a total of four or seven activity caps. Players can only eat an ice cream when the thermometer is 100% full, and the daily maximum of three ice creams consumed has a soft reset at 00:00 game time.
This repeatable content has a soft reset. |
The next period's content will become available only once a player has logged out and in. |
Details: Daily maximum of three ice creams consumed |

Temperature | |
---|---|
Percent | Weather condition |
0%–19% | Cool |
20%–39% | Warm |
40%–59% | Hot |
60%–79% | Boiling |
80%–99% | Scorching |
100% | Inferno |
Every 15 minutes, a different activity is spotlighted. While an activity is spotlighted, the base experience for it is increased by 10%. The spotlighted activity differs from world to world, and there is a horn sound effect notifying when the spotlight changes. The currently spotlighted activity is shown in the event overlay, next to the temperature gauge.
During the event, players can use a spade to dig up little toy ducks.
Barbeques[edit | edit source]

Barbeques[sic] is an activity located in the north-eastern corner of the beach. It is run by Nigel. In it three grills (cooking) and three large chopping boards (preparing) can be used to gain Cooking experience. Either spot may be used without using the other; the grill is easier to track as the grill sounds stops when the interaction is completed.
Each skilling spot can be used to gain experience twice per interaction which takes a total of 16.8 seconds. The experience scales according to the player's Cooking level, up to 584 Cooking experience at a time at level 99. Each time that experience is gained raises the temperature by approximately , so Barbeques may be used to gain experience 108 times before reaching 100% temperature. Furthermore, a 109th time is possible if the last interaction started with 108th experience gain. The following table shows some typical values for Barbeques at level 99 Cooking, assuming maximum efficiency with re-clicking the objects.
This activity yields items approximately once per 15 times of gaining experience.
Experience per gauge | Time to fill the gauge | Item drops per gauge | Experience per hour | Items per hour |
---|---|---|---|---|
63,072 | 15.1 minutes | 7.2 | 250,285.7 | 28.6 |
Cooking experience[edit | edit source]
Raw tropical trout may also be deposited at the table north of Nigel for Fishing experience.
Body Building[edit | edit source]


There are five body building podiums south of where Clawdia spawns; these podiums are run by two bodybuilders, Ivan and Greta. Participating in the activity gives Strength experience when doing one of the following four actions:
- Curl
- Lunge
- Fly
- Raise
There is a warning about gaining Strength experience that can be toggled off permanently. Players earn experience for each of the actions that they perform and quadruple experience can be gained by following the bodybuilders' demonstration. The correct action changes randomly; unlike at Sandcastle Building, the correct action can remain for a very short amount of time. The changes occur on average approximately every 32.8 seconds The experience gained scales with the player's Strength level, up to 39.6 Strength experience for every incorrect action and 158.4 Strength experience for correct ones at level 99. After starting working out, the player continues to work out until leaving manually. Experience is gained in 2.4-second intervals. Each incorrect action grants temperature and correct ones .
This activity yields items approximately once per 60 times of gaining experience.
The following table shows some typical values for Body Building at 99 Strength, assuming moderate efficiency in switching the actions.
Method | Experience per gauge | Time to fill the gauge | Item drops per gauge | Experience per hour | Items per hour |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Following the orders | 59,400 | 15.9 minutes | 6.6 | 224,561 | 25 |
Doing just one action | 34.3 minutes | 14.3 | 103,950 | ||
Disobeying the orders | 55.9 minutes | 23.3 | 63,746.3 |
While working out, the player occasionally says a short random overhead line.
Strength experience[edit | edit source]
Coconut Shy[edit | edit source]

There is one coconut shy on the beach, located in the south-eastern corner and run by Sarah. It provides Ranged experience relative to the player's Ranged level. Tropical coconuts from Palm Tree Farming can also be deposited on the pile of coconuts east of Sarah for Farming experience. The title "the Beachbum" is earned here.
The player throws balls, chinchompas, and cabbages randomly in an attempt to knock off the coconuts for a maximum of 10 times per interaction. Each attempt can cause either experience being gained, the item bouncing off the coconut or the coconut being missed. The type of object thrown doesn't affect the experience gained or the hit chance.
There is a warning about gaining Ranged experience that can be toggled off permanently.
The experience gained scales with the player's Ranged level. At level 99 Ranged, throwing an item successfully yields 396 Ranged experience. A throw takes three seconds. Each successful throw causes the temperature to rise by , so 150 successful throws can be made before reaching 100% temperature. Failed throws do not cause the temperature to rise. Around 50% of the attempts are successful.
This activity can use tick manipulation to decrease the attempts to every 2.4 seconds, which increases the experience rate by 25% if done optimally.
This activity yields items approximately once per 30 times of gaining experience.
The following table shows some typical values for Coconut Shy at level 99 Ranged, assuming maximum efficiency with restarting the throwing.
Experience per gauge | Time to fill the gauge | Item drops per gauge | Experience per hour | Items per hour |
---|---|---|---|---|
59,400 | 15 minutes | 5 | 237,600 | 20 |
Ranged experience[edit | edit source]
Dungeoneering Hole[edit | edit source]

The Dungeoneering hole allows players to jump in and passively gain Dungeoneering experience every three seconds. The experience scales with the player's level in Dungeoneering, up to 192 base experience per action at level 120. The player will randomly receive messages relating to their dungeoneering "progress" within the hole. After gaining experience 25 times, the player jumps back out of the hole, with a game message saying that they have completed 20 floors and it's time for a break. Every time gaining experience inside the Dungeoneering hole raises the temperature gauge by . Experience is given in three-second intervals. With maximal efficiency when restarting the dungeoneering, it takes approximately 16 minutes for a full bar.
The following table shows some typical values for the Dungeoneering Hole at level 120 Dungeoneering, assuming maximum efficiency with restarting the dungeoneering, taking 7.2 seconds without gaining experience between the sets.
This activity yields items approximately once per 30 times of gaining experience.
Experience per gauge | Time to fill the gauge | Item drops per gauge | Experience per hour | Items per hour |
---|---|---|---|---|
57,600 | 15.8 minutes | 10 | 219,181.8 | 37.9 |
Having the A Hole in One buff active improves the base experience gained from this activity, triples the duration spent in the hole per interaction, and prevents the temperature from increasing during this activity.
Dungeoneering experience[edit | edit source]
Hook a Duck (m)[edit | edit source]

Hook a Duck is run by Sarah. In it the player uses a rod at the booth and gains experience in Hunter for every successfully hooked duck. The experience gained scales by the player's level in Hunter.
The player attempts to catch a duck for a maximum of 10 times per interaction. Each attempt can cause either experience being gained, the duck slipping away, or the duck being missed.
At level 99 Hunter, catching a duck successfully yields 492.9 Hunter experience. Each attempt takes 3.6 seconds. Each successful attempt causes the temperature to rise by 0.8%, meaning that 125 successful attempts can be made before reaching 100% temperature. Failed attempts do not cause the temperature to rise. Approximately 50% of the attempts are successful.
This activity can use tick manipulation to decrease the attempts to every 2.4 seconds, which increases the experience rate by 1.5 times if done optimally. This places this activity on par or greater than other Hunter training methods at the relevant skill levels.
This activity yields items approximately once per 15 times of gaining experience.
Method | Experience per gauge | Time to fill the gauge | Item drops per gauge | Experience per hour | Items per hour |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Passive catching | 61,612.5 | 15 minutes | 8.3 | 246,450 | 33.3 |
Using tick manipulation | 10 minutes | 369,675 | 50 |
Having the Ugly Duckling buff active improves the base experience and prevents the temperature from increasing during this activity.
Hunter experience[edit | edit source]
Palm Tree Farming (m)[edit | edit source]
There are 15 palm trees with pickable tropical coconuts found around the beach, grown by Palmer. The coconuts can be picked for Farming experience. The experience gained scaled with the player's Farming level, up to 64 at level 120 Farming.
Picking a coconut takes 1.8 seconds. After a random amount of coconuts picked the tree becomes depleted for a while. Each coconut picked causes the temperature to rise by , so 500 coconuts can be picked before reaching 100% temperature.
Additional Farming experience can be gained by depositing the tropical coconuts in the pile of coconuts east of Sarah, by the coconut shies. Each deposited coconut gives a quarter of the experience given for picking them, up to 16 at 120 Farming. This doesn't increase the temperature and you can thus get the experience for depositing coconuts after having filled the temperature gauge.
The palm tree next to Reyna has a "Read palm" option after becoming depleted so that the relevant Sandy Clue Scroll can be completed even if the tree is depleted.
This activity yields items approximately once per 30 times of gaining experience.
The following table shows some typical values for Palm Tree Farming at 120 Farming with moderate efficiency in switching the trees when needed.
Method | Experience per gauge | Time to fill the gauge | Item drops per gauge | Experience per hour | Items per hour |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Depositing the coconuts | 40,000 | 21.7 minutes | 16.7 | 110,599.1 | 46.1 |
Dropping the coconuts | 32,000 | 17.1 minutes | 112,280.7 | 58.5 |
Both picking and depositing the tropical coconuts enjoy the same experience boosts such as Palm Tree Farming being the current target of a Happy Hour.
Having the Palmer Farmer buff active improves the base experience gained from picking the tropical coconuts, prevents the palm trees from depleting, and prevents the temperature from increasing during this activity.
Note: Some experience boosts, such as Farming urns, do not fill with exp using this method, therefore will not boost exp gain.
Farming experience[edit | edit source]
Rock Pools[edit | edit source]

The rock pools can be found on the east side of the beach, overseen by Wellington. Raw tropical trout can be caught here from the four fishing spots for Fishing experience. The experience gained scales with the player's Fishing level. At level 99 Fishing, 287.2 Fishing experience is gained for each trout caught. Further Fishing experience can be gained by handing in the raw trout to Wellington, or by depositing it at the table north of Nigel, by the grills. This gives a quarter of the experience received when catching the trouts (71.8 Fishing experience at level 99 Fishing).
Toy pirate battleships can also be found here, to fight toy royal battleships, earning the player Construction experience. Toy pirate battleships will always defeat the player's own ship.
Players are able to obtain Bubbles, the Fishing pet drop from this activity. Fish caught at the rock pools will not be transported to the bank by signs of the porter or the Golden Consignment buff, but the Fortune and Imp Souled perks will bank fish if they are installed on the player's wielded fishing rod.
Players can gain 100,000 experience an hour at the Rock Pool activity with level 50 Fishing and usage of decorated fishing urns, scaling up to over 150,000 experience an hour at level 98 Fishing. 94 trouts can be fished before reaching 100% temperature, with each trout contributing . Trouts consumed by the Furnace perk don't contribute to the temperature. Unlike with many other activities, the time it takes to completely fill the temperature bar varies slightly due to the random nature of Fishing; sometimes the bar can be filled in 14 minutes of active fishing or less. Handing in or depositing the fish at the table does not increase the temperature and can thus be done even after reaching the maximum temperature.
This activity yields items approximately once per 15 times of gaining experience.
The following table shows some typical values for Rock Pool Fishing at 99 Fishing, assuming moderate efficiency in switching the spots and handing in the fish.
Method | Experience per gauge | Time to fill the gauge | Item drops per gauge | Experience per hour | Items per hour |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Handing in the fish | 33,746.0 | 13.2 minutes | 6.3 | 153,390.9 | 28.5 |
Dropping the fish | 26,996.8 | 12.8 minutes | 126,547.5 | 29.4 |
If a fish mask is worn while luring the tropical trout, Reyna compliments the player instead of the fish.
Both catching and handing in or depositing the fish enjoy the same experience boosts such as Rock Pools being the current target of a Happy Hour.
Having the Fishermans Friend buff active improves the base experience gained from catching the raw tropical trout and prevents the temperature from increasing during this activity.
Fishing experience[edit | edit source]
Sandcastle Building (m)[edit | edit source]

Foreman George runs the sandcastle building, located in the north-western corner of the beach. Building the sandcastles rewards Construction experience scaling with the player's Construction level. Players can build the corresponding tower to the current NPC guest to earn double experience. The NPC guest will spawn just south of Foreman George and will change every 2.5 minutes.
Players will automatically stop shoveling when they tire out after 20 scoops of sand. For each scoop at the incorrect location with level 99 Construction, 55 Construction experience is awarded, and building the correct sandcastle awards 110.1. One scoop takes three seconds. Scoops at either the correct or incorrect sandcastle cause the temperature to rise by , so 300 scoops can be made before reaching 100% temperature.
Each sandcastle model has four different states and players can work together to advance the states. One state requires a total of 250 scoops of sand. Once a sandcastle has remained in a state long enough, it collapses to its unbuilt state but retains the progress to the next state.
The following table shows which sandcastle is the correct one to build for a guest who is just south of Foreman George.
Sandcastle | NPC |
---|---|
Lumbridge Sandcastle | Duke Horacio |
Sand Exchange | Sally the Grand Exchange clerk |
Sand Pyramid | Ozan |
Wizards' Sandtower | Archmage Sedridor |
This activity yields items approximately once per 15 times of gaining experience.
The following table shows some typical values for Sandcastle Building at 99 Construction, assuming moderate efficiency in switching the spots and restarting the building.
Method | Experience per gauge | Time to fill the gauge | Item drops per gauge | Experience per hour | Items per hour |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Building correct sandcastles | 33,030 | 16.1 minutes | 10 | 123,093.2 | 37.3 |
Staying at one sandcastle | 20,632.5 | 15 minutes | 82,530 | 40 | |
Building incorrect sandcastles | 16,500 | 15.6 minutes | 63,461.5 | 38.5 |
Having the George's Peach Delight buff active improves the base experience gained, triples the number of times the player can shovel before being interrupted, and prevents the temperature from increasing during this activity.
Construction experience[edit | edit source]
Based on the time it takes to fill the temp bar building the correct sandcastle and the number of correct scoops to fill the bar (300 scoops per 16.1 minutes), you can scoop about 1,118 times per hour. Multiplying that by your experience per tick will give you the approximate experience per hour.
Clawdia[edit | edit source]

Clawdia is an hourly boss who emerges from the water-filled hole in the middle of the crater 45 minutes after every hour. This is indicated by rain falling at the beach. She is level 250 and has up to 10,000,000 life points, scaling with the number of participating players. She deals damage scaling to the player's level and life points. If Clawdia retreats before being killed (after five minutes), participating players will obtain loot, but no killcount for unlocking rewards.
Upon defeat, Clawdia rewards all players who participated in the battle. Fighting Clawdia doesn't increase the temperature gauge and she can thus still be fought for rewards even if the temperature gauge is full. Killing Clawdia does not award combat or equipment experience.
Deathtouched darts can't be used to kill Clawdia.[1]
Sandy Clue Scrolls[edit | edit source]
Players may right-click to Reyna to request a Sandy Clue Scroll. This event is similar to completing Treasure Trails with a unique set of various clues. A new trail becomes available each day, and any missed days' trails may be completed retroactively. Rewards include various treasure trail rewards, as well as beach items such as water balloons. When completing a clue, two caskets are rewarded.
A list of possible clues can be found on the Sandy Clue Scroll article.
Events[edit | edit source]
Happy Hour[edit | edit source]
A "Happy Hour" is a scheduled set time which makes every activity a spotlight plot (making them yield 10% additional base experience), allows players to participate in the activities without the temperature gauge increasing, and increases chance to receive items from activities by 10%.
Because the temperature gauge is frozen, players can continue skilling even if they had previously capped both ice cream and temperature for the day.
Happy Hours occur daily at 01:00, 09:00, 14:00, 16:30, and 21:00 UTC game time on all worlds simultaneously.
During a happy hour, Ironman Mode players will receive 50% less experience while skilling with a full temperature gauge.[2] If an Ironman player's temperature gauge is not full, the player will receive full experience, but the gauge will continue to fill.
Heatwave[edit | edit source]
Every weekend a heatwave will occur. Heatwaves last from 12:00 game time on Friday until 12:00 game time on Monday. During a heatwave players will be able to keep training their skills regardless of the thermometer for the entire duration of the heatwave. Logging in or reaching maximum temperature during a heatwave displays the following message: It's a scorcher! Your temperature bar is off the scale. You can carry on though during the heatwave!
While eating the ice cream is not required to continue with the activities during the heatwave, it is still possible to eat it at full thermometer. During the heatwave the daily limit for eating ice cream is increased to six, excluding Ironman Mode players.
During a heatwave, Ironman players will receive 50% less experience while skilling with a full temperature gauge.[2]
Portals[edit | edit source]
The south-western corner features several Distraction and Diversion and location portals, which can be entered to teleport the player to the corresponding Distraction and Diversion or location. The lifeguards announce which Distraction and Diversion activities are active on the player's world.
The portals featured are the following:
- Fish Flingers portal
- Sinkhole portal
- Shooting Star portal
- Evil Tree portal
- Familiarisation portal
- Guthixian Cache portal
- Big Chinchompa portal
- Fort Forinthry Storyline portal
- Wilderness Flash Events portal
If the world's current Shooting Star is in the Wilderness, players will be given a warning beforehand.
Other features[edit | edit source]
A bank chest can be found south of the Sandcastle Building area.
Seven deck chairs are scattered around the beach for the player to sit on.
Rewards[edit | edit source]
About 2 days before the end of the event, players receive a daily chatbox notice for about a week when signing in: "All Lumbridge Beach cocktails will be removed in x days."
Random drops[edit | edit source]
Clawdia[edit | edit source]
The following items can be earned from killing Clawdia. Two to five drops are given for the first hourly kill for everyone participating in the battle.
Other activities[edit | edit source]
The following items can be earned randomly from the experience-yielding activities. Activities yield items approximately once in 15–60 times of gaining experience, depending on the activity. Tokens and cosmetic items are much rarer than the other rewards.
