A sequel titled Teen Beach 2, premiered on June 26, 2015.

Brady (Ross Lynch) and McKenzie ('Mack') (Maia Mitchell), are surfing together at a beach near her grandfather's beach hut. Mack walks in on her grandfather and Brady watching their favorite film Wet Side Story, where bikers and surfers battle for the privilege to hang out at Big Momma's. Brady learns that Mack promised her aunt that after her mother died she would attend a private school, and she is leaving the next day. Mack asserts that although going is her choice, she feels it is what she has to do, since it's what her mom would want. She sadly tells Brady they will have to break up.

Before Mack leaves, she decides to surf a 40-foot wave that is about to hit the beach. Alarmed, Brady gets on a jet ski and goes after Mack. They get swept away and end up on another beach. They soon realize they have been swept inside Wet Side Story. Seizing the moment, Brady joins the original cast in singing ("Surf Crazy"), to Mack's dismay. Brady relents and informs Mack that there will be a storm and giant wave that should bring them back home at the end of the movie. They go into Big Momma's, and introduce themselves to the surfers just before the bikers appear and start the surf and turf war ("Cruisin' for a Bruisin'"). After, Mack and Brady are invited by surfers to come to a party at Big Momma's later that night. Suddenly, their clothing is changed to fit the movie and Mack's surfboard appears nearby.

That evening during a dance, where Lela (Grace Phipps) is performing ("Falling for Ya"), Mack and Brady are arguing when they suddenly change the movie when the movie's lead man, Tanner (Garrett Clayton), falls in love with Mack after she bumps into him and Brady catches the lead girl, Lela when she falls off the stage. This interferes with the movie's plot, in which Lela falls into Tanner's arms, not Brady's. They decide to make Tanner and Lela fall in love to fix things. Brady also tells Mack about the villains of the film, Les Camembert (Steve Valentine) and Dr. Fusion (Kevin Chamberlin), who are going to affect the weather to make the surfers and bikers leave so they can control Big Momma's and turn it into a beach resort.
