Tom is out for a fun day at the beach, but everything turns out to be a disaster, right from the start when his bathing suit gets stuck in the door! Then he dives into the ocean, but the tide goes out and he hits nothing but sand and a bunch of tin cans and other garbage.

One thing after another goes wrong, but Tom, to his credit, remains upbeat. Then he discovers Jerry in the picnic basket eating all the food. Jerry then takes big bites out of poor Tom, to gets further bitten by a crab, on and on and on. Tom - and the crab - gets a few licks in on Jerry, too, but only a few.

This is non-stop action, almost wearing you out in just seven minutes. The frenetic pace is almost too much.

Tom is spending the day at the seaside with his girlfriend and is trying hard to impress her, as usual. But Jerry has stowed away inside the picnic basket and does everything he can to torment him while scoffing the food for himself. You might find this cartoon very, very similar to the more popular Muscle Beach Tom from the 1950s. But this one came first.

There are some very funny painful tricks played on Tom, but they do get a little tiresome after a while. But most of them work. Highlights include Tom drinking some very sandy tea and chewing his own broken teeth. How this is physically possible I don't know. But it's funny.

Probably one of the most memorable Tom and Jerry animated shorts, has Tom the cat hopelessly smitten with his love interest at a day at the beach. Jerry the mouse, with the help of a crab (in the crab's defense he hates Jerry as well as Tom), plot to of course turn Tom's good time into a day of pain, degradation and humiliation, often with hilarious results (the clam sandwich, the sand tea, the fake wooden lady, the spit-take, and of course the umbrella spring to mind) Viva Tom and Jerry!! This hilariously great cartoon can be found on disc one of the Spotlight collection DVD of "Tom & Jerry"

My Grade: A

Tom and Jerry are on a beach, and Tom tries to get friendly (in a very surprising way!) with a female cat that is also there. The rest is the usual chases and stuff.

This does not have much of a plot, admittedly, but the gags come thick and fast. And what gags they are! You barely get a chance to breathe before the next one happens most of the time!

Take a look at it now!

I adore Tom and Jerry, and I enjoyed this cartoon. The only quibble I have is that the pacing is a little too fast, but it is still hugely enjoyable. The animation is absolutely, very colourful and bright, and the music is rousing. The sight gags are plentiful and all of them work, while the story while perhaps routine at first glance is effective and has a good structure. Tom and Jerry still have their likability, I am probably biased as I love this duo too much and hate criticising them.

Overall, just a rock solid Tom and Jerry cartoon, with a lot going for it. It mayn't be their best, but boy isn't it entertaining, the ending especially brought a smile to my face. 9/10 Bethany Cox

Tom is spending a day at the beach, and is out to impress the sexy white cat who is sunbathing nearby. Mischievous Jerry, however, is determined to scupper Tom's plans.

I love it when Tom and Jerry get away from their usual domestic setting to cause havoc somewhere new, and the seaside proves to be the ideal locale for plenty of inventive mayhem and violent hi-jinx: the cat and mouse get in trouble with a cantankerous crab, who is keen to use his pincers on the duo whenever possible; Jerry gets Tom to swallow sand, break his teeth on a shell sandwich, and leap head first onto a wooden post (which the cat is tricked into thinking is a drowning woman); Jerry is launched from a soda bottle into the sea; and Tom swallows an inflatable horse.

Wow, I love this short. This is about the best Tom and Jerry cartoon you can find, as it is absolutely tops in both quality of animation and laughs. In fact, I think that Tom and Jerry cartoons of the 40s are highly underrated and in many cases are superior to those of Warner Brothers--especially in regard to the quality of the animation.

Tom is at the beach trying to woo a cute lady cat. And, to help woo her, he brings along Jerry as his slave. Jerry is throttled again and again by Tom until finally Jerry escapes and decides to get revenge. And in this case revenge includes shoving an angry crab on Tom's tail, nearly drowning Tom and finally making the moves on Tom's girl. The film is nearly non-stop action and fun.

This "Tom and Jerry" short from 47 called "Salt Water Tabby" is fun with chase and fun slapstick action as it's set at the beach. However some supporting characters are found first a female cat named Toots and plus a sharp and pinch like little crab plays in and out of the day during the cat and mouse chases. So really it's not your typical day at the beach as it's full of typical parody fun and pain mostly for Tom cat. Seeing things like crab rock sandwiches, and coffee and sand tea to drink wow just gross! Still really this ranks as one of the duo's most memorable shorts!

This is a fairly decent Tom and Jerry cartoon. the setting is good and is creative with the female, crab, bathing suits, gags etc. Tom eating a clam and consuming sand make for a good laugh, as well as tom's attempts at impressing the girl. The ending with the beach toy and tom's flying trip was a great way to exit the cartoon. The only negative I have however is that I feel the first chase scene, where the crab attacks tom and then he gets himself stuck in a brolly, is completely filler and unnecessary. when jerry was seen tossing out food it should've cut straight to tom slamming the bottle cap over his head. Though with the first chase we did see the crab in action and poor tom all closed up inside the parasol. Fairly decent cartoon, not too bad and not too great either. 6/10

Tom wants to enjoy a day at the beach with toodles, but jerry causes mayhem and for a while a green crab gets involved as well. Jerry bites through the cat's hand and locks him in a beach umbrella and then the crab goes into his suit and makes a flap in the suit, which consequently left tom's bum showing. Tom bites into a rock, drinks sand, gets trapped inside umbrellas, swallows an inflatable horse. Jerry hides inside a banana and ends tom's relationship with toodles when tom spits in her face, after being served salt water from the sea by the mouse. Jerry burys tom and when the cat digs his head out, he is smacked in the face by jerry with a small spade.
