Western Animation - So 4chan had a thread on anime beach episodes, and some normie asked why they are no beach episodes in American cartoons. This wall of images is what ensued.

The difference between the west and the east is that the former treats the beach simply as a theme for an overall normal episode while the latter follows a specific scenario, separate from the main setting and story.

When people try to compare the execution of the two it's both hilarious and sad. I remember comments of an EQG fan who was absolutely heartbroken that the beach special would have plot and drama instead of just fanservice and filler shenanigans.
