"On The Beach" is a Hawaiian track arranged by Kapono Beamer. It is based on a traditional Hawaiian song called "Tickling the Strings." The instruments being played in the piece include a steel guitar, an electric guitar, an acoustic guitar, and a bass guitar.
A moderate amount of its usages are limited to the slow part in the middle of the song, which usually plays during the transitioning shot of Bikini Atoll from daylight to dawn or vice versa, or when a character gets tired.
