How did you guys make paths to your hidden beach?

[fallenchaoskitten]

At least you didn't build your house on a cliff in front of it T_T

I'm debating moving everything because of dang Redd.

I did this I feel like 10 days before the update.
Massive waterfall terraform feature around it.
5 day prior, started making the private beach my hidden shell retreat
2 days prior, finally finished my "plant deck" that has a minimum of 30 items

... So... yeah... same...

I dug a huge hole below the second level of my cliffs to do... something, with them (I have no idea what I'm gonna put in there but it's gonna be cool) and it was right next to the secret beach, so I dug a small walway to the beach!

Here's mine, nothing special.

My friends have carved out entire paths to the beach, but I just made a sort of hidden incline that leads straight onto it-- though I'm considering expanding the third cliff level nearby so I can do a sort of L-shaped thing, but I'm not sure if it'll quite work out, space wise.

I didn't, or well, I did it and planned to add a hidden incline but I hated it and put it back to how it was before!

I guess I'll use a ladder when he shows up, it's not like I'll go there 3+ times per day

I made slight modifications to the land and added an incline...

I try to keep terraforming to a minimum as I want to keep the Island as close as possible to how I got it day one... Not a fan of the industrial looking islands or the ones with heavy terraforming done to them but to each their own.

My path was a complete coincidence since I planned and executed it before I even knew Redd was going to be docking at the secret beach! I wanted to have a path back there so I could set up a couple secret graves but I guess it’s now a path to Redd’s ship whenever he’s here lol!

Maybe I’ll do a secret dingy alley next time but I don’t really want to sacrifice my little greenhouse garden set up for now!

TBH I'm debating whether I'll bother doing anything. Right now it's behind my house and accessible by ladder.

I just knocked out a 1 block path from the cliff leading to the beach. I did not really put much effort into it,

I was pretty lucky and there were no cliffs to the secret beach, but I already converted that area to a hidden cafe area in a "forest" which I wanted to base off a little on alice and wonderland with the secret beach as a lookout point attached to it. Now it looks at Redd's polluting ship haha

Here's a crappy gif of my secret beach back during cherry blossom season. <3

It’s not crappy and I love how you made your path without even needing an incline.

 

[icecreamcheese]

mine is a little cute corner that hides behind a cedar tree grove

 

[dizzy bone]

I have a little opening in my cliffs that leads to the secret beach.

The beach itself is a contrast to the nature zone right before it. It's salmon run themed so it looks great when Redd arrives When he's not here I don't even go to the beach. The secret beach items are placed in a way so that I can't see it from most picture angles in the nature zone.

And here's a video of the path to it:

I ran out of inclines so I had to settle with using the ladder to visit Redd lol

This is no longer true. I have carved out a path at the rear of my island that allows me to run along two of the rocks at the back right up to the secret beach. This corner of the island is very empty right now (plan is to decorate the secret path with pirate items, the rest I'll need to think about).

Anyway, I can now walk from the top right corner of my island to the secret beach as shown below, and I think this is a pretty decent workaround for when you can't spare an incline... If you're lucky with your layout, that is

I am so impressed with everyone’s creativity (hangs head in shame and hides ladder )

Mine is pretty open wouldn’t really call it a ‘secret’

Luckily my top cliffs were already arranged for access to the hidden beach, and at the time I was creating a new area near that beach for my museum. I couldn't imagine the frustration of having to tear down everything just to get to there though, especially after all the time and effort put in to terraforming and decorating.

 

[John Wick]

It's a drop straight down.

It can't be terraformed and it's so tiny it can't be decorated.

To the right of this rock on the top left of my island there's a one tile wide entrance to the beach. The 'X' is under the third seaweed..... nope. No 'x'. you heard nothing.
