Given the theme and lore of Beasts of Bermuda, most [[Maps|maps]] come with an ocean.  This ocean is salty, meaning a player will not be able to quench their [[Thirst|thirst]] if they attempt to drink from this body of water.  Drinking from the Ocean will cause the player to lose [[Survival Points|survival points]].  The ocean has [[Tidal System|tides]] and often harbors both [[Aquatic Creatures|playable aquatic creatures]] and [[Fish|edible fish]] for [[Piscivorous Creatures|piscivores]].  [[Terrestrial Creatures|Terrestrial creatures]] who enter the ocean will see a significant drop in their [[Comfort|comfort]], often resulting in gradual loss of [[Health|health]].

The ocean and other [[Freshwater Lakes|bodies of water]] come with two different sets of post-processing effects, depending on whether the player is playing as an aquatic creature.  Aquatic creatures sport significantly improved underwater visibility over their terrestrial counterparts due to reduction in underwater fog thickness and lack of water blurriness.
 
 
 
The ocean is the only body of water in the game that has [[Tidal System|tides]].  The water level will rise and fall in a cyclic motion on an hourly clock, often revealing or covering certain portions of the map key for terrestrial creature travel.  Many [[Dungeons|caves and temples]] have entrances that may be submerged under the surface of the Ocean part or all of the time, depending on the tides.  These areas often pose a point where aquatic and terrestrial creatures may come into contact with each other.  Some cave passages may be submerged by the Ocean during all times except low tide, deliberately hiding certain secret areas of the map for the majority of the tidal cycle. 
 
 
 
The ocean is also influenced by [[Weather|storms]], where storm surges can occur during particularly strong [[Weather|storms]].  These storm surges can be very severe, occasionally flooding significant portions of the entire map and posing a survival challenge for players.
