'''Gelato Beach''' is a pink sand beach resort location on [[Isle Delfino]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' and is located on the “stomach” part of the dolphin shaped island, east of [[Sirena Beach]]. Its name is derived from {{wp|gelato}}, a type of Italian-style ice cream. It is the largest and sunniest beach on Isle Delfino and also the resting place of the legendary [[Sand Bird]] egg, which is located inside the [[Shine Tower]]; a large stone building in the center of the beach. Large mirrors have been installed around the tower that reflect sunlight at the egg to keep it warm until it hatches. According to a local [[Pianta]], this has been going on for a century. Gelato Beach and [[Pinna Park]] are the only levels that are not covered in [[goop]].

In ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', the [[Blooper Bay]] course seems to be based on this area.

[[File:SMS Gelato Beach.jpg|thumb|left|150px|An aerial view of the beach]]
Gelato Beach is a large beach with a number of huts and trees. [[Cataquack]]s roam the sandy areas, with blue Cataquacks on episodes 1, 2 and 4, and red Cataquacks on episodes 5-8. Many [[Dune Bud]]s are placed around the beach, and spraying them will make the area below them pop out in a sand sculpture-like shape.

The player starts on a small island just off the coast of the beach. Behind that island is another island with tall palm trees and a [[swing (Super Mario Sunshine)|swing]] attached to one of them, which will help the player reach a [[Blue Coin|blue coin]]. A [[Turbo Nozzle]] can also be found here if it is unlocked. Directly ahead of where the player starts is a hut with several pieces of fruit in it. To the left of the hut are a group of trees with one of the tower's mirrors in the center. From the center of the beach and facing the tower, there is a sandy area followed by long path to a central Amphitheatre<ref>{{cite|author=Loe, Casey|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide|page=53|date=August 12, 2002|isbn=1931886091|publisher=Versus Books}}</ref> area ahead, a fruit cabana to the left, and a peninsula to the back. Beyond the Amphitheatre is a long, broken path with many [[Rope#Tightrope|tightropes]] above it. Behind the fruit cabana is a coral reef where [[Red Coins in the Coral Reef|Episode 6]] takes place. Also during Episode 6, [[Yoshi]] can be found on the peninsula.

==Music==
Gelato Beach shares the same musical theme with [[Ricco Harbor]], [[Delfino Plaza]] and [[Bianco Hills]]. Just like the music in Ricco Harbor and Bianco Hills, Gelato Beach's theme is an arrangement of the A-major Delfino Plaza theme in the key of C major. However, Gelato Beach's music is arranged in the style of Trinidadian calypso, with prominent saxophone and steel drum instrumentation. It was composed by [[Koji Kondo]].

[[File:Isle Delfino slide 1.png|200px|thumb|Gelato Beach as shown in the ''Super Mario Sunshine'' intro.]]
*Gelato Beach, [[Pianta Village]], and [[Delfino Plaza]] are the only locations to contain a hidden picture of a Shine Sprite that releases a secret Shine Sprite when sprayed with water.
*One of the photos in the ''Super Mario Sunshine'' end credits shows Mario, [[Toad]] and [[Yellow Toad]] swimming through the coral reef from episode 6.
*As determined in the E3 2002 trailer, Gelato Beach [[List of Super Mario Sunshine pre-release and unused content|was going to be shown]] to be covered in [[electric goop]] that acted like [[Goop|common goop]], but the goop was removed for unknown reasons.
