Sunny Beach is the fifth realm of the Summer Forest homeworld in Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! and in the Reignited Trilogy remaster of the second game. It can be accessed after learning how to swim.
Water Workers are trying to box up the newborn baby turtles and ship them to an unknown location, and it is up to Spyro to make sure all the baby turtles are free and safe.
Guide[]
Spyro's job at Sunny Beach is to guide the baby turtles through the level. All you have to do is make sure the doors are opened; the babies go on their own. The trick for this level is to flame or charge the large brown turtles, so they walk onto blue pads on the ground. Doing this will swing open large gates, and from there, the turtles graze on the grass, unmoving.
In the beginning, there is only one orb you can retrieve.
- Blasting Boxes Advisor Gromit will wait to give you this quest until you've slain enough enemies to make the Superflame power-up active. Your job then is to shoot fireballs at the large metal crates located around the area, though you've no time limit regarding how long it takes you to break all the crates. Return to recharge the power-up whenever necessary.
Once you've received the Climb ability, come back for the final two orbs—both of which are given to you by an angry chef. He resides on top of a tall ladder in the end area of the level, easily found. Once you talk to him, he explains that he wants to make turtle soup. Well, you aren't going to stand for that, are you?
- Turtle Soup: 1 Now, when the chef rings his bell, baby turtles will head for the pot in the center of the room. All you need to do is flame them (which will make them jump and turn around), or charge them (which makes them huddle into their shells and go bouncing off the wall briefly). The objective is to get them into the small pool on the far side of the area. When you've done this for all three turtles, the chef angrily gives you an Orb, stating he doesn't need it anymore.
- Turtle Soup: 2 This time you have to prevent ten baby turtles from reaching the pot. The strategy is not to aim for the pool so much as to keep them from reaching the pot.

Opening Scene[]
The scene opens showing the Water Workers shipping boxes that are filled with baby turtles up into a huge pipe, taking them to an unknown location. One of the boxes falls off and breaks (due to an accident involving one of the workers getting zapped in the rear by an electrical stick), knocking out a worker and freeing the turtles. A second worker using an electrical stick chases after one of the turtles, and they go off-screen for a second. The worker is then seen running away from the turtle, as the stick is now in the turtle's mouth.
Closing Scene[]
The scene shows the baby turtles you rescued, swimming, and relaxing in the pools. Two of the turtles are seen diving into a pool. A baby turtle is then shown, standing in front of a duck worker, on the worker's shovel. Another baby turtle stands behind the worker, with an electrical stick in its hand. He shocks the worker, making the worker scream in pain and shoot the shovel up in the air, allowing the baby turtle to dive in the pool, happily.
