The "Beach Party" sub-series started as a seasonal event but quickly became a standalone phenomenon. Beach Party 3 takes the action away from the crowded boardwalks and deep into a surreal, vibrant archipelago known as "La Fantasma Shore." The premise is simple: eight colorful characters (ranging from a grumpy lifeguard manatee to a sentient ice cream cone) compete in a series of summer-themed challenges to win the Golden Coconut Trophy.
