Following the boat's sinking, the Twin Sister, Nurse and Valets are reunited on a golden sandy beach. They encounter giant sea creatures, including a silly turtle, mischievous starfish, curious blue potato bug (over 16 feet long and is operated by two artists) and a pair of playful crabs. (An estimated 1,300 hours went into making one crab puppet, which is worn by an artist in a back bend position.)

The Sand-Cliff Deck rises from the void and its entire upper surface is now covered in sand (actually 350 cubic feet of granular cork from Portugal.) We see the Girl and Nursemaid lying unconscious on the beach. Suddenly two large puppet crabs (flexible performers in full-body puppet costumes actually crab-walking to animate the crabs) emerge from the sand and wake the Girl and her Nursemaid. The Imperial Court's three valets swim up to the storm-tossed beach. The group reunites and proceeds to explore the beach discovering and interacting with an array of whimsical creatures; a starfish, a sea-turtle and a spiny caterpillar. The exiles eventually leave the beach and continue on their journey.
