Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIf you notice, all of the actresses in the movie have high-waist bikinis that cover their navels. Most of the actresses in the "Beach" movies of the 60's wore regular bikinis of the time that did expose their navels but not Ms. Annette Funicello in Beach Party (1963). Ms. Funicello was still under contract with Disney at the time and was on loan to do the Beach movies. It is a widely reported myth that Mr. Walt Disney forbid Annette from exposing her navel. Ms. Funicello addressed this issue in her 1994 autobiography where explained she chose not to expose her navel "out of respect" for Mr. Disney. However, Ms. Funicello's navel is shown in the later installment of the Beach series.
- GoofsIn the final surfing scene, Mack's hair goes from up, to down, to up again while in the water surfing.
- Crazy creditsOuttakes play during the end credits, followed by an additional scene: the characters from the 1960s are transported to the 2010s and are frightened by modern artifacts such as camera-phones, leading into the story of Teen Beach 2 (2015).

Featured review
Fun, corny musical.
If you liked the 60's beach movies, Grease and HSM, you might like this too.
Reviewers who want character development, award winning acting and such should lighten up! This is a spoof of the corny, tongue in cheek "Beach" movies of the 60's.
My 7 year old daughter loved the dancing and musical numbers, as did I. It's very corny, the music and dance numbers were surprisingly good. The wardrobe and hair were exactly as goofy as kid might see them if they saw the 60's films now.
It's a fun, entertaining, corny (get it), harmless film....watch it, expect nothing, enjoy it for what is!!
