"Lawn Gnome Beach Party of Terror" is the second broadcast episode of the animated television series Phineas and Ferb. In it, stepbrothers Phineas and Ferb construct an elaborate beach complex in order to survive the intense heat wave that has struck their city. Meanwhile, the boys' pet platypus, Perry, successfully halts the destruction of all the lawn gnomes in the tri-state area by his nemesis, Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz.
"Lawn Gnome Beach Party of Terror" was written by series co-creators Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh, who collaborated with Bobby Gaylor and Martin Olson, and directed by Povenmire. The episode originally aired in the United States on September 28, 2007 as the second of two previews for the series on Disney Channel. Since airing, the episode has received generally positive reviews, especially for the originality of its title. Fan reaction was also favorable, and the featured musical number "Backyard Beach" was voted the number 2 song in the series by viewers during the "Phineas and Ferb's Musical Cliptastic Countdown" event.
Due to an intense heat wave striking Danville, stepbrothers Phineas and Ferb are exhausted and do nothing but rest in their backyard. Eventually, they decide to build a beach in their backyard to spite a morning radio DJ. Their sister Candace wants to expose them to their mother for doing so, but she only sees their initial draft of a small sandbox with water and brushes it off. Some time later, they successfully construct a full-scale beach, to which everyone in the neighborhood, including Isabella and her Fireside Girls troop go to cool off and enjoy themselves. Candace sees this and once again is set to inform their mother. This mood soon changes, when she finds out that Jeremy, a boy for whom she has romantic feelings for, will be coming to the beach to surf so she decides to stay. She finds pleasure in the beach after being crowned "Queen Wahini" following an accidentally flawless limbo performance and catches the attention of Jeremy.
