Small Beach Farm replaces the riverlands farm (configurable) with a fertile pocket beach suitable for slower or challenge runs, and lets you catch both river and ocean fish. You can optionally enable islands and beach sounds.


Install the latest version of SMAPI.
Unzip the mod folder into Stardew Valley/Mods.
Run the game using SMAPI.

Just load a save with the riverlands farm, and you'll see the new map!

Highlights
The beach is fertile, so you can plant crops in the grass and sand too:

You can catch riverlands fish in the river and ocean fish in the ocean (for both fishing and crab pots):
The exit to Marnie's ranch is on the right:
The beach includes a functional campfire you can use (pairs well with Campfire Cooking):

Tips
Fish quality depends on how far from shore the bobber is. The bottom-left area of the river mouth is wide enough to catch max-quality river fish:


If you need more space, download the optional config.json to add some islands:

If you use Automate, you can connect chests to crab pots all along the beach:

If you load an existing save and have things in the water due to the smaller map, see Saves#Change farm type for some suggested fixes (skip the part about editing the save file).


Configure
You can edit the settings in-game or by editing the config.json; see configure in the readme for more info.
