Ash and his friends arrive at the beach town of Acapulco.

Beaches are land formations consisting of loose rock particles, typically sand, that can be found near bodies of water in the Pokémon world. They are often home to Water-type Pokémon living in the water or on the sand, as well as Pokémon of various other types. They are also typically frequented by Trainers such as Fishers, Sailors, and Swimmers. Items such as Heart Scales or Pearls can often be found hidden in the sand, presumably washed in from the waves or dropped by travelers. Additionally, Burmy will pick up rocks and sand on the beach to form its Sandy Cloak, a form it will retain when evolving into Wormadam.

Ultimately, the island was destroyed after the Societea launched a cannon in the Sky Fortress that shot a huge destructive blast of energy, vaporizing the entire island. The Pokémon originally located here were evacuated to other islands in the Oblivia region by the residents of Cocona Village on Renbow Island to save them from the explosion.
