'''Peach Beach''' is the second race course of the [[Mushroom Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. It is [[Princess Peach]]'s home track of the game. The beach is reminiscent of [[Gelato Beach]] and other areas from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. It shares its music with [[GCN Daisy Cruiser|Daisy Cruiser]].

The race course starts out at a cobbled street that looks like [[Delfino Plaza]] next to the [[Grand Pianta Statue]]. When entering the beach in a [[Ricco Harbor]]-like area, the [[Daisy Cruiser]] can be seen in the background (though the cruise line ship is missing if the game is played via split-screen mode in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''), as well as the [[List of sponsors debuting in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!#Sunshine|''Sunshine'']] docked in the harbor. Also, the Grand Pianta Statue fountain is replaced by a huge [[Power Star]] in Split-screen mode. While racing on the beach, wandering [[Cataquack]]s of four different colors charge at the racer if they go near them. The final stretch takes place on a path similar to those at [[Bianco Hills]], and if the player turns left into the square where the fountain is right before the finish line, they find Item Boxes before a sharp turn back to the course. The Award Ceremony at the end of every cup (including the [[All-Cup Tour]]) in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' is carried out here.

Peach Beach reappears as a [[classic course]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' as the first race of the [[Shell Cup]].

==''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''==

The racers first begin on the stoned straight road. Two [[Pianta]]s and a [[Noki]] can be seen waving from the sidelines. After turning to the right of the first corner, the player can go to the left to find a ramp with [[Dash Panel]]s and get an [[Item Box]] there.  If the player takes an early left they will be shot out of a pipe and receive a [[Item Box|Double Item Box]]. After jumping over the ramp, the racer lands on a small piece of land with a palm tree and grass surrounded by water. If the tide is high, the water greatly slows down the vehicle crossing this zone. However, if the tide is low, the player can travel across without problems. Computer-controlled players never take this path. The darker patches of water represent deeper areas that act like [[pit]]s.

On the right path, Cataquacks appear roaming in the shore, but only in Grand Prix and VS races. They flip any vehicle in the air by contact and also take away some items on hand. While there is high tide, racers must follow the curved path, but by using a speed power-up, it is possible to take a shortcut over the water. During the low tide, racers can cut the path going straight to the next turn.

After turning right, the beach ends in the cobbled road that leads straight to the [[Finish Line (object)|finish line]]. Just before the line, there is another set of moving item boxes sliding left and right plus an alternate way to the left of the road that surrounds the fountain with a pair of Item Boxes behind. This way, however, is not a shortcut.

|EngE=You won't have much time to admire the ocean view as you tear across the sand and the cobbled streets of Peach Beach. Oh, and watch out for the changing tide!}}

*'''Prima Guide bio:''' "''There may not be a hidden green pipe anymore, but this ''Double Dash'' track is deceptively simple. After a roar down the cobblestone straight, there's a long curve onto the beach (or a dash panel ramp off a concrete pier), and a choice of paths via an island ramp or a beach where Cataquacks roam. Remember that the tide comes in on the second lap! Once you're through the pink arch, there's a second smaller beach before a final sharp corner, and race to the finish!''"
