	Depending on the surrounding terrain, beaches can be wide and hilly, short and flat, or more rarely, jagged with tall cliffs. Beaches are replaced by [[Minecraft:stony shore]]s at lower erosion values, or [[Minecraft:snowy beach]]es in frozen biomes. The coast may not always have a beach biome; land biomes can also directly border oceans, sometimes with tall cliffs.
