A '''snowy beach''' or '''cold beach''' is a snowy variant of the [[Minecraft:beach]] biome that replaces it in snowy regions.

== Generation ==
A snowy beach often generates around [[Minecraft:snowy plains]], [[Minecraft:snowy taiga]]s, or any of their variants. Because [[Minecraft:taiga]] biomes have the ability to generate in the same temperature as [[Minecraft:snowy plains]], [[Minecraft:ice spikes]], and [[Minecraft:snowy taiga]]s, snowy beaches can sometimes generate next to taiga biomes, resulting in incorrect, weird, albeit intentional terrain generation.<ref>{{bug|MC-239444}}</ref>

== Description ==
Snowy beaches are the same as regular beaches terrain-wise, being made mostly of sand, though their landscape is covered entirely in [[Minecraft:Snow|snow layers]]. The water surrounding snowy beaches freezes into [[Minecraft:ice]] due to the cold temperatures and these beaches often lead to [[Minecraft:frozen ocean]]s.

Turtles cannot spawn here, but in ''Bedrock Edition'' [[Minecraft:rabbit]]s can. Shipwrecks and buried treasure may still generate in this beach variant.

With [[Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals]], snowy beaches use default atmospherics with a strong cold color grading, making the biome appear icy blue. They use cold sunlight, which is slightly brighter at dusk and dawn.

== Mobs ==
Snowy beaches have the same mob spawning chances as [[Minecraft:Stony Shore|stony shores]] {{in|java}}.
