History
Although the city has no evidence of a war millennia ago, the stories persist. These stories are mostly preserved in gems and passed down to current residents like Steven. The Gems, these magical alien warriors, have decided to make Earth their home. The beach town has evolved into a unique blend of human community and defense against the alien threat.
The late William Dewey, the city's founder, fought and defended against many challenges alongside crystal gems that symbolize Beach City's innate resilience. Although now peaceful, the city often turns into a battlefield as it guards the Gem Temple, an important stronghold of crystal gems. The beach town has also been a silent testament to the friendship between humans and Gems, especially seen in the interactions between Steven Universe, a half-gem, half-human boy, and its inhabitants. Despite looming threats, the city remains hopeful, thanks in large part to the heroes who protect it.
Beach City's vibrant community spirit is complemented by the Funland Arcade, Big Donut Shop, and local pizzeria, making the city thrive on battle and adventure with a sense of normalcy that makes it more than just a backdrop for heroic events. It is an integral part of the Steven Universe universe.
Over the years, Beach City has etched time into the sand, each speck whispering a story, whether you're having an adventure, surviving a disaster, or forming a friendship. The intertwining history of this unique city reminds us that, although rooted in reality, there is always a silent magic beneath the surface.
Background
The beach town is home to several Crystal Gems, including Rose Quartz's son Steven Universe, and is full of inherited legacies, tales of daring deeds, and deep secrets that give the town a magical essence. The ever-vigilant Crystal Gems do double duty, protecting the city from gem-related threats and living among its inhabitants, uniquely contributing to the city's social and cultural dynamics. Beach City is buzzing with its diverse ensemble of people, including the Fryman family that owns Beach Citywalk Fries, the Pizza Family with Fish Stew Pizza and Big Donut, owned by Lars and Sadie, and more. It is also home to notable establishments such as Beach City Funland. The residents of the beach town, despite their constant encounters with otherworldly events and gem technology, continue to live their normal lives, mostly undisturbed.
Over time, the constant interaction of Beach City and the exposure of the Crystal Gems has created a unique fusion of the ordinary and the extraordinary. Blending the pleasant drudgery of a beach town with the transcendent reality of the gem world, Beach City lives wonderfully in a fascinating, multi-layered universe. Not only is it a place where the mundane and the magical coexist, but also where lasting bonds, lessons learned and memories are formed, making it the true heart of Steven Universe.
