Fishing
All water at the beach is considered to be saltwater, even the section of the river upstream of the bridge (where, in the real world, freshwater fish would be more likely). Therefore, the same fish are available regardless of where on the beach you are fishing (with the exception of the Crimsonfish, one of the five Legendary Fish, that is only available from the east end of the beach).
Visually, the piers seem to provide better access to deep (dark blue) water. However, in terms of fishing mechanics the piers are considered to be land. Therefore, casts made from the end of the pier have no inherent advantage over casts made from the shore. Similarly, the light blue (apparently shallow) water color to the east and west of the beach has no actual gameplay significance.
Bubbles tend to appear at the Beach more often than other locations because such a large fraction of the map is covered in water[1]. However, they also frequently appear so far offshore that they are unreachable, even with high Fishing skill.

Notes
- The broken bridge to the eastern section of the beach is not the quarry bridge (which is repaired by completing the Crafts Room bundles in the Community Center.)
- Panning is not possible at the beach, except during the Night Market.[2]
Trivia
- On the northwestern side of the beach there is a suspicious looking opening between two trees. However, the path is blocked by a bunch of woodplanks.
- Although identified as salt water, and therefore dangerous to many plants, you can fill the watering can from the ocean and use the water on any crops.
Secrets
References
- ↑ The raw chance of bubbles forming at the beach is the same as on all other maps, see GameLocation::performTenMinuteUpdate, specifically regarding fishSplashPoint. However, the code randomly selects any tile on the map and only creates bubbles if that tile happens to be a "fishable" tile. With 2307 of 5200 (44%) fishable tiles, the Beach has a much higher fraction than other maps.
- ↑ The code in GameLocation::performTenMinuteUpdate that spawns orePanPoints is skipped on the Beach, but the test does not recognize the BeachNightMarket map.

History
- 1.4: Added spawning of forageable Seaweed. Can no longer place items at Beach during the Night Market.
- 1.5: New Community Upgrade allows access to the tide pool area without repairing the bridge.
