White Ramp VS Log Stairs

[EvilTheCat6600]

So, after being informed of where on the island the private beach is, I decided to incorporate it into my infrastructure plans. The problem is, despite living where beaches and beach towns are abundant, I honestly don't know which would look more proper for the inclines leading down to the private beach. I've narrowed it down to two choices, however: white ramp and log stairs.

So I want to hear what you think. Which of those two is more fitting? I want to look natural or remind people of going to the beach in real life. A friend of mine says log stairs are the way to go but I definitely want to hear from the community as well. I'll keep the poll open for the next two days and make my decision based off the votes.

I've had the exact same dilemma a few days ago, I went for the log stairs cuz I had another one a few steps away leading to the upper cliff, so it fit perfectly. I guess it mostly depends on what you have in the surroundings.

Well based off the beach's location it's mostly just cedars and lillies. I know there's some river/waterfall but my beach I don't believe is in the direct center. Once I stop being lazy, I need to post my island map to share the layout, but I know it's not too close to the clifftop pond on the third tier of my island. I wanna say maybe 2 or 3 acres to the right?

I agree that it depends on the surroundings and atmosphere you’re trying to create.

The white ramp makes me think of a popular and frequented hot spot, while the logs are more rustic and work to give a “hidden gem” vibe. Both are good choices!

I'm going for a more natural look I guess. To connect the cliffsides, I used natural ramps, but it's not all "Nature and nothing man-made," of course. I plan to use the red zen bridge for my island's bridges. I guess I want something that doesn't look to fancy or urbanized. More like the traditional working with the island's layout, I suppose.
