The Beach Bum Content Update is the first content update for Grand Theft Auto V / Online. It is free and was released on the 19th of November of 2013 as part of the 1.06 patch. It has been stated to be the first of many free and paid updates and DLC's to be released for GTA V / GTA Online.

It contains 4 beach-themed vehicles, 2 weapons, many new beach-themed clothes (e.g. shorts), 4 new haircuts (2 male and 2 female), new tattoos, and 30+ multiplayer jobs. This was followed by the Valentine's Day Massacre Special in February 2014.

Many new beach-themed clothes, for both male and female Online characters, have been automatically added to their wardrobes and can be equipped either in safehouses or in clothing stores. Amongst these are multiple shorts, bucket hats, bathing suits and tank tops. There are also new tribal tattoos and four new haircuts (Two male and two female) with a shaggy look.

Weapons

Two new weapons are included in the update. Both are automatically added to the singleplayer character inventory and, in Online, can be obtained for free in Ammu-Nation stores.

SNS Pistol

A small compact pistol, bearing good power but short range. An extended magazine can be purchased for it to extend the ammo capacity from 6 to 12 bullets.

Vehicles

Four new vehicles are included in the update. The road vehicles can be obtained in singleplayer by visiting the characters garages for the land vehicles and the characters dock for the Speeder. In Online, the road vehicles can be obtained free in the in-game website southernsanandreassuperautos.com and the Speeder can be obtained for free in the in-game website docktease.com. They are now no longer free after later updates, and must be paid to acquire them.
