The '''Beach''' is the second world of ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. Like the other areas of [[Donkey Kong Island]], it is infested by the [[Tiki Tak Tribe]], who have taken [[Donkey Kong|Donkey Kong's]] [[banana hoard]]. As its name suggests, the world has a beach theme, with many of its levels taking place around water or on ships. It also features some new mechanics that are not seen in the first world, [[Jungle (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|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.<ref>KynanPearson (August 12, 2021).

As its name suggests, the Beach takes place on a beach, and nearly all of its levels appear as such. From the world map, the Beach appears to be a bay hosting several small islands on it, each one being a level. The world map shows [[Cranky's Shop]] and the boss level appearing on a patch of grass.

The earlier levels take place in a calm, peaceful atmosphere featuring a few clouds. A few patches of grass and palm trees appear in parts of the level. Many of the levels have small rocks sticking out from the water. Contrarily, a few of the later levels have dark clouds, strong waves, and a high tides. One of the levels takes place in mild, cloudy weather while another features numerous ships firing cannonballs directly at the [[Kong]]s.
