The tide pools are found at the east end of the beach, and are the primary place to find [[Coral]] and [[Sea Urchin]]s.  At the start of the game, the wooden footbridge across the river is broken.  Until the bridge is repaired (requiring 300 pieces of [[wood]]), or the [[Carpenter%27s_Shop#Town_Shortcuts|second community upgrade]] is purchased, the tide pools are inaccessible.

On [[Weather#Rain|rainy]] or [[Weather#Storm|stormy]] days, the [[Old Mariner]] stands at the north side of the beach past the tide pools.

Note that [[Rice Shoot]]s are never found at the Beach (either in Artifact Spots, or in [[Fishing#Treasure Chests|Fishing Treasure Chests]]).

Artifact spots spawn on the beach at an average rate of 0.4 per night, except in winter when the average rate increases to 0.5 per night.<ref name="artifact_spots" />

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.

[[Fishing#Bubbles|Bubbles]] tend to appear at the Beach more often than other locations because such a large fraction of the map is covered in water<ref name="bubbles" />. However, they also frequently appear so far offshore that they are unreachable, even with high Fishing skill.
