Beach City

**Beach City** is one of the main communities situated in Beach County in the state of Delmarva, in the 443 area code, on the East Coast of the United States.

## History

The Crystal Gems have resided in Beach City before Bill Dewey's great-great-great-great-grandfather, Captain William Dewey, founded Beach City nearly 200 years ago. After many months out at sea, the Crystal Gems, as messengers of Rose Quartz, came across William Dewey's ship and warned the captain and crew to turn back, as the land that would soon be known as Beach City was dangerous and not safe for humans. William Dewey, after an incident with the mast of his ship, drifted across the sea until he and his crew encountered a massive storm and a giant Gem Monster. The ship was saved from being sunk after a Crystal Gem fusion (Obsidian) saved William Dewey and the ship. She brought Dewey and the ship to shore and told the captain not to reside on the land. William Dewey chose to stay on the land, and the Fusion accepted William's decision and informed him that she would most likely interfere again. The Crystal Gems continue to reside in Beach City where they watch over and protect its inhabitants from danger and evil.

Due to its isolation Beach City has not suffered large scale Grimm attacks and is home to very few people trained to be Huntsmen. Despite this small blessing Beach City has its share of unnatural events, including an event where the entire ocean was stolen which has led to many online theories but no answers. For now Beach City remains a small town with little tourist attraction and conflict with Grimm or other dangers.

The entire city was evacuated due to the impending arrival of a Homeworld Gem Warship. A large chunk is missing from the hill on which the Lighthouse and Crystal Temple are situated, due to the explosion made when the ship crashed into the hill and attacked by a large horde of Grimm, fortunately the crisis was ended by the help of the Huntsmen Association and the Swat Katz, the remaining huntsmen stayed to help repair the damages.
