Yes because there are two independent clauses joined by a FANBOY. I went to the beach is an independent clause. But is a FANBOY. It was too cold is an independent clause. A FANBOY is for, and, nor, but, or, yet.

Hope this helps!! :)

It would be compound because there is a comma and "but" separate two independent clauses. Hope this helped!
