- 43. Dear Gary,Wow, Bikini Bottom is a really neat place! For a little getaway in the Atlantic Ocean, it has some of the nicest beaches and most picturesque landscapes. The sheltered harbors and sweeping sounds serve as a natural refuge for tropical fish and the playful bottlenose dolphins. Culturally, Bikini Bottom is home to people of British and Caribbean descent who call this island home. The sounds of steel drums that people play can be heard filling the city streets at night as can the smell of delectable spices from the local restaurants with their chatty waitresses. It is truly a place like no other. Be sure to tell Patrick and Sandy I said hello. See you soon!Sincerely,S. SquarepantsGary 1234 Pineapple RdUnder The Sea, PA 16802
