A snowy beach is a variant of the beach biome that replaces it in snowy regions.

Description

A snowy beach often generates around snowy plains, snowy taigas, or any of their variants. Because taiga biomes have the ability to generate in the same temperature as snowy plains, ice spikes, and snowy taigas, snowy beaches can sometimes generate next to taiga biomes, resulting in incorrect, weird, albeit intentional terrain generation.[1] Snowy beaches are the same to regular beaches terrain-wise, being made mostly of sand, though their landscape is covered entirely in snow layers. The water surrounding snowy beaches freezes into ice due to the cold temperatures and these beaches often lead to frozen oceans.

Turtles cannot spawn here, but in Bedrock Edition rabbits can. Shipwrecks and buried treasure may still generate in this beach variant.

Mobs

Snowy beaches have the same mob spawning chances as stony shores in Java Edition.
