A snowy beach or cold beach is a snowy variant of the beach biome that replaces it in frozen regions.
Snowy beaches replace beaches in the coldest temperature zones, where they may border snowy plains, ice spikes, snowy taigas, and regular taigas. Frozen rivers can cut through snowy beaches, and icebergs from the frozen ocean begin generating close to the land.
Not every snowy biome is separated from the frozen ocean by a snowy beach. Near mountains, stony shores often replace snowy beaches, even though they are not as cold.
Snowy beaches are the same as regular beaches terrain-wise, being made mostly of sand with sandstone underneath. The temperature in snowy beaches is low enough to allow snowfall, covering the sand in snow and freezing the water around.
Turtles cannot spawn here, but in Bedrock Edition rabbits can. Shipwrecks and buried treasure may still generate in this beach variant.
With 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.
