Mike the Little Bean tells his friend Hope, who is a young girl, that he wants to fly to the beach today on the back of his friend Wally the seagull. Hope tells him that he should wait for her because he has never been to the beach before and does not know what to expect. But Mike really wants to fly there and see what it looks like from up high, so Hope agrees to let him go by himself. While flying on Wally’s back, Mike notices a fish in the water that wants to eat him. When Wally gets too close to the fish trying to eat it, Mike almost falls off his back and into the fish’s mouth. Luckily, he is safe, but must rest on a rock while Wally goes to get Hope. Now he must fend off some hungry crabs, but is eventually rescued by his friends Wally and Hope.
