What this mod does
Gem Sea Shores redesigns the Pelican Town beach so it looks more natural and adds several new coastal areas. It’s by Aimon111, it was part of the Stardew Valley Modfest 2026, and version 1.1.4, released October 20, 2026, is the current one.
New areas
- Forest shore: you can walk down to the coast, where you’ll find respawning supply crates and beach forage. Its left side opens up once you clear the hardwood stump.
- Flower Dance map: reachable from the forest clearing, with special flowers and forage.
- West coast: forage, fishing and a lookout at the top that changes with the seasons (new in 1.1.4). You get there through a cave, and in summer you can swim.
- Custom maps for the beach festivals.
Options and compatibility
You can make the tide pools walkable, swim all year round or clear the trash from the beach and the forest. It’s compatible with Stardew Valley Expanded, Ridgeside Village, East Scarp, Cape Stardew and the most popular recolors. It requires Farm Type Manager, DaisyNiko’s Tilesheets and two other libraries.
The author is working on more areas, events and boat trips along the coast. There’s no Spanish translation yet.

- Open the Gem Sea Shores page on Nexus Mods, go to the Files tab and click Manual download on the main file (Gem Sea Shores More Beach Areas 1.1.4). You need a free Nexus account to download.
- Unzip the .zip outside the game folder and move the resulting folder into the Mods folder inside the game folder. If you had an older version, delete its folder first.
- If you use Stardew Valley Expanded, check the forest fog option in the config so it doesn't get doubled up.
- Launch the game with SMAPI and head down to the shore from the forest or the beach to find the new areas.
