More noticeably, extra [[Coral]]s and [[Sea Urchin]]s spawn during these three days, at an average rate of 4/night (20% Sea Urchins, 80% Corals).<ref name="summer_bonus_tide" />  They can appear nearly anywhere on the beach (white areas on map) -- both east and west of the bridge -- except for the piers.  This is only the time of year when Corals and Sea Urchins appear at the west end of the beach.

During these three days, the ocean is distinctly greener than usual.<ref name="green ocean" /> However, the map is otherwise unchanged, and therefore any objects previously placed on the beach ([[Crab Pot]]s, [[Chest]]s, [[Tree]]s, etc.) remain available, unlike during other events on the beach.

<ref name="bubbles">The raw chance of bubbles forming at the beach is the same as on all other maps, see <tt>GameLocation::performTenMinuteUpdate</tt>, specifically regarding <tt>fishSplashPoint</tt>.  However, the code randomly selects any tile on the map and only creates bubbles if that tile happens to be a "fishable" tile.  With 2307 of 5200 (44%) fishable tiles, the Beach has a much higher fraction than other maps.</ref>
