Beach and tropical Facebook covers
The beach is one of the most popular cover themes there is. It makes sense: a cover is wide and short, and so is a horizon over water. This preset builds that view for you. The waves style stacks five layers of water from the horizon down to the shore, with a soft sun in the sky, and the palettes decide whether it reads as a turquoise lagoon, a warm sunset bay or a cool northern coast.
Most beach covers online are someone else's travel photos. A drawn beach avoids that problem and also keeps text readable, because the sky area stays smooth. If you have your own photo from a trip, that will always be the most personal choice; this preset is for when you don't, or when you want words on top that a busy photo would drown out.
Five palettes are included: clear turquoise water, sand and teal, sunset coral, deep evening blue and a pale driftwood look. Pacifico, a relaxed script, is the default font, and it suits short holiday lines.

Tips for beach & tropical covers
The palette is the place
The first two colors paint the sky, the next three paint the water layers. Swap the second color for a peach or coral and the same waves turn into a sunset. Use blues and grays for a lake or a cold sea.
Keep the horizon high on phones
The phone view keeps the whole height of the cover but cuts the sides. A high horizon means the water still shows on a narrow screen, and the sky above it gives you a clean place for text.
Bokeh for a beach at night
Switch to the bokeh style with the deep blue palette and you get something like lights along a seafront seen out of focus. It's a good choice for a summer-evening or boardwalk mood.
Short lines in script
Pacifico gets hard to read past about six words. Keep the main line short ("Island time starts now") and put a place name or a date in the small line underneath.
Businesses on the coast
Surf schools, beach bars and holiday rentals can put the season dates or "Open daily from June" in the small line. Change the palette to match your signage so the Page feels like the place.
