—Cranky Kong, Donkey Kong Country Returns

The Beach is the second world of Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D.

It also features some new mechanics that are not seen in the first world, Jungle, such as bomb-shooting ships. New enemies are also in this world, such as crabs and electric jellyfish. The Beach shares similarities to Aqua World from DK: King of Swing. When asked if they were the same location, senior designer Kynan Pearson approved of the idea.[1]

The boss fought in the Beach area is the Scurvy Crew.
