๐Ÿ– The Beach

The Beach is a major location in Stardew Valley, located south of Pelican Town. It is a popular area for fishing, foraging, and seasonal festivals. The Beach is home to Willy’s Fish Shop, Elliott’s Cabin, and the Tide Pools. Players visit the Beach frequently to collect Coral, Shells, and Sea Urchins, as well as to access fishing spots and events.

๐Ÿ“ Location

  • Directly south of Pelican Town, accessed by crossing the southern bridge.
  • Divided into two main areas: the main Beach and the Tide Pools (east side).
  • Hosts seasonal festivals such as the Dance of the Moonlight Jellies and the Luau.

๐ŸŒŠ Features

  • Fish Shop — run by Willy, sells fishing gear and buys fish.
  • Elliott’s Cabin — home of Elliott, accessible via the east bridge.
  • Tide Pools — an area rich in forageables, unlocked by repairing the wooden bridge (300 Wood).
  • Docks and piers — primary fishing spots with unique ocean fish.
  • Crab Pots — can be placed in the ocean for crab pot catches.

๐Ÿชธ Foraging

The Beach is one of the best places to gather forageables. Items vary seasonally but can include:

  • Coral
  • Sea Urchin
  • Clam
  • Nautilus Shell (Winter)
  • Rainbow Shell (Summer)

๐ŸŽ‰ Events

  • Luau — held on Summer 11.

  • Night Market (Winter 15–17) — boats appear at the Beach offering rare items, free coffee, and a deep-sea fishing ride.

๐Ÿ’ก Strategy

Pro Tip: Repair the bridge to the Tide Pools early — the coral and sea urchins provide excellent income in the first year.
  • Bring Crab Pots here to maximize ocean catch variety.
  • Visit regularly for seasonal forage items worth high gold.
  • Use the Water Obelisk for instant access if fishing is your main income source.
