After reading the iconic book by Alison Lester, nine children and a dog find themselves on the titular Magic Beach.

They explore caves, build giant sandcastles, poke around rock pools and converse with sea creatures. This is where their animated imaginations begin…

James dives with horses in the waves, sandcastles are built and destroyed in terrible wars, pirates smuggle treasure, and dreamtime serpents fly through the sky and shed their scales.

The dreams of these children are limitless and reflect the uninhibited nature of being a child at the beach.

The children awake from their animated imaginations to find themselves back in real life, but the beach will be in their heart forever.
