If you are going to add back the bridge, I think making a natural-looking bridge that connects the lighthouse to the fishing store would look best. This would frame the cave entrance nicely.
You should put a sand volleyball court next to the skate park along the beach. As for the fishing shop, you should shorten the length of the dock so that it just goes over the water and support it with 2x2 reddish brown round bricks to look like pillars that are coming out of the water and you could have minifigs fishing off the pier.
What a first impression you get from seeing it from the front. I think the long wave needs to grow on me a bit, but the moving water around the boat looks amazing. I understand that the wave gives more life. Still, I think swimming, dolphins, and beach life will give it enough life. Looking forward to future updates.
You should do a rope bridge from the fishing store to the light house! It would be smaller giving the details of the River more room to see. It would also be cool!
I’m glad you acknowledge the “boardwalk” @8:15. I look forward to seeing it when you do have the pieces to make it look wooden! It’ll differentiate it from all the other light bluish grey ‘concrete’ you have in the city.
As someone who grew up at the beach, it feels a little off seeing trees so close to the water…but it’s LEGO and if you think it looks right, then great! Very cool beach and water look. It really pops, and connects great with the river and cavern.
That medium azure with the light blue tiles makes it more tropical and sooo much better, plus adding the palm trees to the beach makes it even better like you're in florida or something lol, keep on building bricksie
i love it but i feel like that long wave is too uniform. a single wave wouldnt span the whole beach, there would be mutliple smaller waves coming into the shore at different intervals. love the azure though, makes it look more tropical for sure!
I think you should build a swinging bridge from the Fishing Store to the lighthouse. It gives you a nice walkway and takes up less visual space so you can still see the hidden cave. Overall, the beach and water looks good.
This new beach looks great! One suggestion moving forward with details, I'd suggest leaving the sand more sparsely populated with minifigs, scenes, palm trees, etc. To me, the old beach seemed very busy. I actually really enjoyed seeing the sand as a empty slate in this video, as I think it looks clean and tidy. While of course the beach needs some activity, if I were in your shoes I would tone it down a bit and maybe focus on detailing the boardwalk with minifigs and palm trees since you have significantly more room on the boardwalk than before.
Love your city! Terrific job! I have to agree with you that a large wood bridge from the old fishing store to the lighthouse is a bit clunky. Perhaps an natural stone arch footbridge with a canoe or paddle board emerging out from under it might work. Whatever you decide, I’m pretty sure it’s going to look awesome!
The beach looks great! I agree with you that it is nice to keep the open, uncluttered look. New beach, new look. Instead of the big wooden bridge to the lighthouse, what about one of those suspended walking bridges. Might be kind of hard to build with Lego but it would be more open and not block the view of the cave and creek behind.
I would change the azure color water on the other side of the ferris wheel to dark blue to show that there’s deeper water over there which would make more sense than shallow water :)
This looks so good! The only thing that stand out to me is the long wave that stretches down the beach, it kinda looks unnatural. Not sure if i'm the only one but thought I'd point it out and give my opinion :)
I like the idea of the bridge connecting the fishing store to the lighthouse, but I think the bridge needs to be a different color or style than the fishing store’s decking, so it doesn’t take away from either set and it helps stand out across the water.
The azure plates gives a nice look to the beach! I was thinking that you could do a nice color gradient combining plates and tiles: Light blue tiles over azure > dark blue tiles over azure > dark blue tiles over blue plate > dark blue tiles over black plate
It look amazing and it's getting better and better. We love to watch your channel. What you can do, place one of those fake small candle lights in the cave so it looks like somebody has a fire on in the cave. And once you are done with the mansion and you want to build something else, build like alcatraz or like a dinosaur island so you can use and buy the jurassic sets. Keep it going
With a smaller beach area, you can't put everything back that was there before since it wouldn't all fit. Need to now tailor everything you put there to the new size of the beach. Some day when you get your new bigger space, you'll have to do a beach hotel resort to really add the details since you can then have a bigger beach area.
Looking wicked that Jordan! Your skills have come on ten fold since I first starting watching you. Been a pleasure to watch you evolve over the years. I think a slimmer bridge between the fishing store and lighthouse would frame the area nicely. Also, how about some adventurous bridge or cliff divers to add some interest? (with some legs sticking out of the water) Fab work as always!
You definitely need to do more videos like this. The building with explanations and some time laps would be cool. I don't really see people do time laps on Lego builds, you could be the first to do it.
I’m actually putting together (waiting on parts) the last full water plate for my castle moc. I used my trans blue and clear in my fountain I built and love it but debating on doing the same on 2 and a half huge MILS plates because of cost at the moment. Once I finish my falcon army (hopefully by end of next week) I can focus my time and money to building more of the moc.
Love that you are going to expand the surf shop to carry skateboards and that you are going to be developing a skatepark. Keep up the remarkable work, Bricksie.
This looks awesome! Pumped to see the details and mini figs added. The fishing store may look better if it was rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise and a narrower bridge to the lighthouse added coming from the side that is now facing the farm
Loving the new beach changes! I really think that area gives a facelift to the whole city. I’m looking forward to seeing the water completed as the new wave design is fantastic. Great job Bricksie!
I don’t even need a lego city of my own, all because Bricksie is so motivated and talented and keep upgrading and perfecting his lego city. It’s a huge pleasure to watch
Don't feel to bad about the exposed studs. In 2019 I made a moc of a endor dragon and was short a black cheese slope. In 2022 I finally finished it. I had a trans black cheese slope in its place until I could replace it. I was living in an adult foster home that kept telling me Lego was for babies so I didn't build for a while. They had me get rid of most of my collection so I took a while to get pieces I needed. Although I kept the detail pieces because I never knew when I needed to fix up a moc. I don't take anything apart once I build it.
I'd say make a rope bridge with wooden planks form the Old Fishing Store to the New Lighthouse!!!! Maybe just make it 2 studs wide, rather than 4 studs wide. Just a thought!
I really think the bonsai tree set would look immaculate in your city maybe even a couple of them, sounds like it will be a good fit for your "drooping" tree idea but, keep up the amazing work the beach indeed looks prestine
Love the way you made this video! it's a lot cooler seing you build what you are talking about, then seing you talk about it and then we see the result.
I know you've already done the water - but it would be so cool for the water to actually be deep with multiple levels of transparent tiles and then from the side you can see underwater - fish and sharks and sunken ship etc, and could actually build height in waves and one crashing against the side of a pirate ship etc. I feel like the terrain a lot of the time in Lego is very flat
Great job. That's a huge area. The rock work is also awesome. Even the sand is nicely layered. I also did little waves in my ninjago city. Was thinking of making a big wave but ran out of parts. Hahaha we are slaves to our inventory.
If there's a way to use flex tubing and plate to make a rope style bridge between the fishing shack and lighthouse I think it would look cool. You'd have a connection but yet it would retain the open feel!
I think you should rotate the fishing store 90 degrees so it’s facing the same way as before, then add a more narrow bridge between the two, having it a little further forward than you have it currently
i think that it would be cool if you built a willow tree to overhang on top of the hill using some brown spiderman webs and then use some clips to attatch the leave elements to create the hanging willow effect.
Looks great dude. Feels like you should flip the boat facing the other way based on the waves you put in there. Like it's coming in toward the shore from the deep ocean.
Awesome! Think of the beach right now as early morning before it has activity and people. I know, you’ll have it populated soon, but I do think that it looks like early morning in this video! 😊
Blending the water might look more even if it was more a pixilated breaking up effect, with pockets of colors diffusing into the next color rather than a sudden full switch.

As for the fishing shop, you should shorten the length of the dock so that it just goes over the water and support it with 2x2 reddish brown round bricks to look like pillars that are coming out of the water and you could have minifigs fishing off the pier.
You should add some vegetation along the sidewalk by the beach. Maybe some trees or hedges every 10 or so studs?
What a first impression you get from seeing it from the front. I think the long wave needs to grow on me a bit, but the moving water around the boat looks amazing. I understand that the wave gives more life. Still, I think swimming, dolphins, and beach life will give it enough life. Looking forward to future updates.

Looks absolutely fabulous ❤
The beach and ocean update looks great! The surf/skate shop and skate park will be a great addition to the beach area.
I’m glad you acknowledge the “boardwalk” @8:15. I look forward to seeing it when you do have the pieces to make it look wooden! It’ll differentiate it from all the other light bluish grey ‘concrete’ you have in the city.

under the dark blue cheese wedges, you could put some dark blue plate to nicely blend it in with the rest of the ocean. But it looks great so far!
Looking better for sure!
That medium azure with the light blue tiles makes it more tropical and sooo much better, plus adding the palm trees to the beach makes it even better like you're in florida or something lol, keep on building bricksie
Love the idea of the skate park and doing a farmers market. It will add tones of life to that area great work bricksie ❤
i love it but i feel like that long wave is too uniform. a single wave wouldnt span the whole beach, there would be mutliple smaller waves coming into the shore at different intervals. love the azure though, makes it look more tropical for sure!

You should have the bridge going from the hill in the camp ground to the fishing store
I like the idea of the bridge connecting the fishing store to the lighthouse, but I think the bridge needs to be a different color or style than the fishing store’s decking, so it doesn’t take away from either set and it helps stand out across the water.
Love the fact anakin is still on the beach doing battle with it
The azure plates gives a nice look to the beach!
I was thinking that you could do a nice color gradient combining plates and tiles:
Light blue tiles over azure > dark blue tiles over azure > dark blue tiles over blue plate > dark blue tiles over black plate
I realy like your vids. I had a suggestion can you make a shark scene at the beach?
It look amazing and it's getting better and better. We love to watch your channel.
What you can do, place one of those fake small candle lights in the cave so it looks like somebody has a fire on in the cave.
And once you are done with the mansion and you want to build something else, build like alcatraz or like a dinosaur island so you can use and buy the jurassic sets.
Keep it going
The bait shop and the lighthouse are my favorite sets in the past few years, love their use
May I suggest a splash pad for kids next to your skate park?
Beach is looking fantastic!

That looks so nice Bricksie! Really good job!
Love this style of Bricksie video!! Beach is looking fantastic!!

Skatepark!!!!
Beach looks great! Love the new water colors
awesome video jordan the beach is looking amazing i love all the detail great job

Beech looks great but that boardwalk 9:36 looks amazing
Wow, next level beach! Looks great!
LOOKING AWESOME BRICKSIE!
beach
Looks great Jordan!!!
The lego building time lapse is so satisfying to watch
I'd say make a rope bridge with wooden planks form the Old Fishing Store to the New Lighthouse!!!! Maybe just make it 2 studs wide, rather than 4 studs wide. Just a thought!
I really think the bonsai tree set would look immaculate in your city maybe even a couple of them, sounds like it will be a good fit for your "drooping" tree idea but, keep up the amazing work the beach indeed looks prestine
I have a solution to blend the water by using transparent plates under the tiles . It looks cool but it's kinda expensive looking at your need.
Love the way you made this video! it's a lot cooler seing you build what you are talking about, then seing you talk about it and then we see the result.
Put a custom basketball court next to the skate park. Very typical sight by the beach
I know you've already done the water - but it would be so cool for the water to actually be deep with multiple levels of transparent tiles and then from the side you can see underwater - fish and sharks and sunken ship etc, and could actually build height in waves and one crashing against the side of a pirate ship etc. I feel like the terrain a lot of the time in Lego is very flat
It's looking great. The canoes and kayaks could even be heading down the river towards the ocean, doing some white water rafting
Really incredible work. This might be the most impressive part of your whole city
I really like the idea of the bridge going to the lighthouse
The beach walls it naturally formed would be sandstone.
beach looks great
Looking good keep it going !
Very Nice Lego beach Nice.
Looks awesome. You might consider a fisherman on the rock or a kayaker heading towards the cave. That's where I'd be if I were a lego minifigure. Lol
Great job. That's a huge area. The rock work is also awesome. Even the sand is nicely layered. I also did little waves in my ninjago city. Was thinking of making a big wave but ran out of parts. Hahaha we are slaves to our inventory.
If you want to add a bridge, maybe you can consider a broken one to fit the “eerily” vibe of that area. Great video as always!
If there's a way to use flex tubing and plate to make a rope style bridge between the fishing shack and lighthouse I think it would look cool. You'd have a connection but yet it would retain the open feel!
I think you should rotate the fishing store 90 degrees so it’s facing the same way as before, then add a more narrow bridge between the two, having it a little further forward than you have it currently
i think you should make a precarious rope bridge connecting the shack and the lighthouse. I feel like that would look really nice.
Wwoooohhhooooo! Finally a skatepark! Love the beach.keep it up man❤😊
i think that it would be cool if you built a willow tree to overhang on top of the hill using some brown spiderman webs and then use some clips to attatch the leave elements to create the hanging willow effect.
You should add some people crabbing in the rocks
Looks great, maybe throw muscle beach next to it, throw some outdoor workout equipment like Venice beach
There should be a regular park besides for the skate park in that area, they would fit together well.
The beach looks amazing right now
Love the way it changed it is beautifull
The skate park placement is perfect for the skate shop you should take inspiration from Supreme or other SoCal skate shops
love the new water and waves layout done awesome job
The Beach looks Good :)
Looks great dude. Feels like you should flip the boat facing the other way based on the waves you put in there. Like it's coming in toward the shore from the deep ocean.
That skatpark is gonna be sick Jordan🤘
Awesome! Think of the beach right now as early morning before it has activity and people. I know, you’ll have it populated soon, but I do think that it looks like early morning in this video! 😊
Nice speed building
jordan, now this looks amazing! great job
looking great
Hi! Don't put back the wooden bridge, it takes away the attention from the great natural rocks. Great looking beach!
Im so excited that your adding a skatepark to the city lol I skateboard my self and can you please add a stair set with a hand rail !
It would be cool if u could take advantage of the depth mills plates give you to add some sea life underneath.
Blending the water might look more even if it was more a pixilated breaking up effect, with pockets of colors diffusing into the next color rather than a sudden full switch.
Your skill amazes me even after years of watching
Looks great! My only concern is the amount of sand area. In think the double width broadwalk has taken a lot of beach space away.
Nice!!
Create a rope bridge to connect the fishing building to the lighthouse.
Can’t wait to see the skatepark 👍🏻
Du hast die beste Lego-Stadt, du bist die beste Brixie
Wow
You are drawing with Lego, so skilled
nice, a lot of progress in this update.
hi @bricksie you should do a 30 x 30 mini golf .. a good addition near the skate park
You should add the daily bugle set a couple feet behind the beach...it would add a city effect
Maybe behind the waves (further from the beach) have that part of the water a stud higher vs just having the thin line of cheese slopes.
maybe add a fishing/ bait store or maybe rent a canoe place as well
