Timmy wants to impress Trixie Tang, so he wishes to be the strongest boy on the beach. Everything is going well until a bodybuilder named Mr. Galaxy walks into the beach which makes Timmy bigger and stronger. Trixie is impressed by his muscular body, but when Timmy hugs her, he accidentally breaks her spine. Then things go much worse: Cosmo and Wanda loses their wands and Mr. Bickles catches them to cook in his restaurant. Meanwhile a whale makes Timmy grow into a huge muscular monster and after a stomp he sends Francis into the sea.At Mr Bickles' restaurant, Timmy shows up by punching the front and scares his owner with a loud scream and rescues his godparents.Later the Dimmsdale Emergency Sea Monster Response Team is in charge of stopping Timmy but they fail in the attempt as the tanks are crushed by Timmy's smashing.Finally Timmy wishes to be a wimpy kid again and throws the seaweed onto Francis and making them believe he´s the seaweed monster.

This episode contains examples of:

  • All Girls Want Bad Boys: As a "reward" for destroying Timmy's sand castle, Trixie (rather willingly) offers herself to Francis with a giant smile on her face.
  • Beach Episode: Makes sense, since the word "beach" is in the episode's title.
  • Cruelty by Feet: Francis stomps on Cosmo and Wanda and kicks sand into the faces of Timmy, Trixie, Elmer, A.J., and Sanjay.
  • Exact Words: Timmy's wish was to be the strongest guy on the beach. Anytime someone stronger than him arrives, Timmy gets even stronger so he can retain the title, until he gets so strong he turns into a seaweed monster.
  • Fanservice Extra: The two female lifeguards are very attractive and are obviously a tribute to Baywatch.
  • Growing Muscles Sequence: When Timmy wishes for muscles, he's seen flexing his body as his chest and arms get larger.
  • Hypocritical Humor: This exchange:
    General: We are not a waste of money! Now prove it, and waste him!
    (cut to two guys shoveling dollar bills into a fire)
  • Karma Houdini Warranty: Although it was unintentional on Timmy's part, Trixie gets maimed by him after she unfairly treated Timmy in episodes like "Class Clown" and "Just the Two of Us!".
  • Lifeguard Fanservice: Parodied. A trio of lifeguards, consisting of two attractive women and a muscular man, are featured as a Running Gag. Whenever Timmy needs their help, they are shown running towards the camera in slow motion, until they finally arrive at the end of the episode. Their reputation as useless eye candy is lampshaded and accepted in-universe.
    Timmy: Man, they are slow... but they look good!
  • Running Gag: The Sea Monster Emergency Response Team repeatedly tries to insist that they are not a waste of money.
  • Take That!: To the United States Coast Guard, of all people.
  • Temporary Bulk Change: Timmy wishes to be the strongest guy on the beach, and gains a good deal of muscle. As always, the wish ends up backfiring: whenever someone currently stronger than he is steps onto the sand itself, Timmy grows even more muscular so that he can continue to be the "strongest guy on the beach."
  • You No Take Candle: Timmy speaks this way when he becomes a seaweed monster.
