What do you do with your narrow beach areas?

[lenoreluna]

For those of you with narrow beaches (where there is no sand area between the land and the water), how do you decorate them/around them? I want to see others' creative ideas! I made a little cliff overlook over the ocean with a Gallant statue (area is still a WIP)! The benefit to narrow beaches is that you can build cliffs and look out over the ocean off of them! Share your creativity!

I used the narrow strips as an extension to my villagers' yards. I have three villager houses in a column along my left- and right-side beaches, respectively. Nothing super fancy, as I like to keep things simple.

I have the 2 southern river mouths, so my narrow beach spots have narrow grassy spots, as well. I used both sides to make mini-orchards, planting 3 of each fruit. It's basically the only place I grow fruit trees, so that worked well.

I only have one and it's just next to my campsite so it's a convenient little area for the campfire to go! and it also quite nicely splits up the beach because in front of the campsite I have a chill resort-type beach and the back is currently flower storage, but will hopefully eventually become like a nightclub!

I have one or maybe two (I don't really stare at them long enough) but there's one with a big fat boulder in the way. So that's fun, lol.

I have a couple thin stretches on Evwirt (none on Arctin, I think) but since I’m going for a feral aesthetic around those parts I just have my usual woods.

Ugh, those boulders are the worst! I don't know who thought they were a good idea! They are literally just in the way! When I reset for my island, I made sure I didn't have any of those boulders!

 

[moonlights]

wow i don't have anything like that on my island, i didn't know a strip could be so narrow but i really like how you've designed around it!

I struggled the most with the narrow beaches on my island. I usually try to plant a few coconut trees at the widest points at the very least! I use small decor in the spaces like little lanterns, or even just a few flowers on the beach. I use the spaces to lead visitors to locations on the beach that I actually want them to visit. I have a few custom designs I use to dress them up that are shells that make it look cute too.

I have to check my game when I turn it on. I don’t even Think I even have a narrow beach area, which is good because I wouldn’t know what to do there.

I also have a large boulder right near my narrowest strip so I mostly just leave it alone except a for a coconut tree >_>

gulliver showed up one day on the narrow strip and I had to push him through the strip or swim around to get to the other side =_= So it’s a good thing I didn’t have too much blocking the way lol

I like what you have done with the statue it looks lovely I have seen people line their beaches with glass candles or light up lanterns it looks really nice for that kind of space.

 

[Bluebellie]

I suppose not everyone has these. I just checked my island and I couldn’t really find it

 

[KittenNoir]

Also I have been seeing people put flowers, weeds along the shoreline to make a natural look and not have it looking bare

 

[Piggleton]

Woah that is super narrow. Didn’t know that existed in the game x.x

Might be nice actually just to leave it alone so it doesn’t feel cluttered. I could see it looking nice with the space on top and below decorated too

My narrow strip of beach (I only have 1 narrow strip) is next to a big boulder. So with those two elements I have no real way to decorate it very well. I just kind of leave that area fairly empty as a divider between beach areas. On one side of the narrow area is more of a classic beach theme area (beach towels, sand castle, surf boards, etc.) and on the other side I have a pirate themed beach restaurant / pub (under construction).

So yeah, I've done nothing with it really yet it still works really well for keeping my different themed beaches separated!

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

I don't think I've even noticed this. I think I just leave it as is!

I put a bench and two floating biotope planters on one of those little areas. My villagers like to sit there and watch the sea.
