History Main / BeachKiss

* ''Film/SummerSchool'' ends like this. The twist being that their dog joins in on the kiss, which wasn't planned, but they [[ThrowItIn kept it in]].

* ''Series/TheOC'': Alex and Marissa are on their first date–watching the tides change on the beach, which has symbolic significance for Alex. Alex notes that the tide has changed, and she and Marissa kiss, marking the start of Marissa's first (and only) same-sex romance.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek 2}}'', Shrek and Fiona parody ''Film/FromHereToEternity'''s kiss during their honeymoon, but the waves bring a [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 mermaid]] instead of Fiona prompting the ogre princess to get angry and throw her back into the water [[TakeThat where she gets eaten by sharks.]]

* [[http://images-mediawiki-sites.thefullwiki.org/04/2/9/3/77197401205932367.jpg This rather crowded beach scene]] is how the ''[[Magazine/{{MAD}} MAD]]'' parody ''From Eternity Back to Here'' represented the movie's SignatureScene. (This was one of the earliest appearances in ''MAD'' of the {{inherently funny word|s}} "potrzebie".)

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{The Little Mermaid|1989}}'', after Triton gives Ariel legs (and a sparkly dress) she runs to Eric, who's still on the beach after the showdown with Ursula, and they share one, which transitions right into their wedding scene.

%%* Appears in an ImagineSpot in ''Film/TheSevenYearItch'', spoofing ''From Here to Eternity'' (probably the earliest example of that, only two years later).
* Parodied in ''Film/{{Airplane}},'' with Ted and Elaine ending up festooned with seaweed, as one of several flashbacks to explain their backstory. The scene in ''Film/FromHereToEternity'' is so famous that when it was spoofed in ''Film/{{Airplane}}'', the filmmakers didn't ''know'' what exactly they were spoofing.
* In the Creator/EddieMurphy remake of ''Film/{{The Nutty Professor|1996}}'', Sherman is watching ''Film/FromHereToEternity'' as he dozes off and has a nightmare where, while doing the scene with Carla Purdy, he unwittingly buries her into the sand because of his enormous weight.

* Katniss and Peeta share one in the movie version of ''Film/TheHungerGamesCatchingFire'', though it's toned down significantly compared to the book.

* Creator/SidCaesar and Imogene Coca did a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPOams8jA6g rather]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DMOiaunXEU lengthy]] one on ''Your Show of Shows''. (The beach scene itself starts 5 minutes into the 2nd link. Too bad the audio doesn't sync up with the video.)
* Sonny and Brenda from ''Series/GeneralHospital'' had a completely unironic one of these. It's probably one of the most famous moments in the show's 40+ year history.

* Not on the beach but Series/{{Angel}} kisses Series/{{Buffy|the vampire slayer}} by the seaside after [[spoiler: becoming human again]] in "I Will Remember You".

* ''Series/Lucifer2016'': Lucifer and Chloe's FirstKiss happens when they're standing on a beach having just solved the case of the week.

* The video for Music/DavidBowie's "[[Music/LetsDance China Girl]]" briefly paid tribute to the ''Film/FromHereToEternity'' scene. The original, never-shown-on-MTV version was done ''sans'' bathing suits, which caused a hubbub.
