Sea

The Ocean is the most southerly point of the town. It is the best place for fishing, as the shark group appear here during the summer. It is the final part of the river to ocean system. There is also a beach that is very sandy. Objects sometimes wash up on the beach's shores, such as coconuts and seashells. Coconuts can be planted in the acre where the beach is in, although not actually on the sandy part of the beach. Palm trees, the trees of the coconut, bear two pieces of fruit when fully laden. It must be noted that, despite being a sea, the Animal Crossing game's ocean has no tides. Therefore the size of the beach remains constant. The beach itself runs the length of the sea, with occasional breaks where outcrops lie, and where the river meets the sea. Outcrops, also known as capes, have small cliffs that separate them from the sea. In, Pascal the sea otter can be found standing on one of the two capes by the river on some weekdays. In and, Gulliver the seagull washes up on the beach infrequently. Beaches, although infertile, can have flowers planted on them. Beaches can also be dug up, although any waves that pass over it will not fill it in. When walking on a beach, players leave footprints in the sand that disappear after a short amount of time.

In Animal Crossing, the waves carry the lure on the fishing line towards the beach, while in Wild World and City Folk they carry it out to sea. In City Folk, waves can be heard crashing on the beach in all homes near the ocean.

In, beaches can travel on more sides than the south side of a town and players can swim and dive in the ocean.

The Beach
Where the ocean meets the land, a beach is located. When the player walks on the beach they will leave footprints that will dissapear after a short time. Shells will wash up on the beach daily and occasionally (Wild World only) a note-in-a-bottle will wash up. Coconuts will also wash up on shore, this being the only method of getting a coconut palm. Coconut palms grow near the beach, where many rare night-time bugs are located.
