- For the Chinese version of the level, see Big Wave Beach - Day 30 (Chinese version).
Big Wave Beach - Day 30 is the thirtieth level of Big Wave Beach in Plants vs. Zombies 2. It is a Save Our Seeds level. To complete this level, the player must protect the five Guacodiles which are located in the first column. The tideline is located between the second and third column. After completing this level, the player receives a money bag.
Difficulty
- If a Fisherman Zombie hooks a Guacodile, he will make it perform its rush attack which makes it go off-screen, therefore losing the level. The player needs to plant either many plants or feed Plant Food to an Infi-nut to win this level easily.
- The Octo Zombie can be seen as more of a blessing than a curse in this level, because they can throw octopuses at the Guacodiles and prevent them from being activated by Fisherman Zombies and other zombies.
- Zombies will enter the lawn early in this level; however, slower in the middle waves.
- Deep Sea Gargantuars will appear during the last ambush.
Waves
- The small number next to the zombie icon means that zombie will always appear in that lane, with 1 being the topmost lane and 5 being the bottommost one.

Strategies
Strategy 1
- Created by Uselessguy
Ask for his permission before editing.
See Gallery for more details.
- Suggested plants:
- Twin Sunflower
- Banana Launcher
- Cherry Bomb
- Snapdragon
- Lily Pad
- Infi-nut (extremely important)
- Tangle Kelp (or Ghost Pepper)
- Keep planting Twin Sunflowers until the ambush comes. Quickly use a Cherry Bomb and plant a Snapdragon to stop the zombies.
- Go on planting Twin Sunflowers. When seeing a Fisherman Zombie, quickly plant an Infi-nut and feed Plant Food on it. Pay attention to zombies, especially Surfer Zombie.
- Plant at least two Snapdragons to protect the Infi-nut's force field. Plant some Banana Launchers to stop the Deep Sea Gargantuars and Surfer Zombies. You need at least four.
- Plant another Infi-nut and feed Plant Food on it.
- When a Deep Sea Gargantuar comes, quickly fire three bananas as fast as you can before it throws its Imp Mermaid Zombie. It is best not to use Turbo Button.
- Quickly destroy the Surfer Zombies if they are about to kill your Infi-nut, or the Fishermen Zombies will destroy your defense!
- Cherry Bombs are very important in this level. Try to use it.
Strategy 2
Created by RaidingParty
This strategy allows you to complete the level without Plant Food, paid content, premium plants, or losing lawn mowers.
- Suggested plants:
The goal is to get two columns of Twin Sunflowers up with a column of Magnifying Grass. This will provide enough sun to kill off the enemies. Ideally the Magnifying Grass will go in the fourth column with Twin Sunflowers on either side (the front end providing a buffer).
Quickly set up Twin Sunflowers while the first wave approaches while filling the nearby Lily Pads with Puff-shrooms. Kill the first Conehead with a Tangle Kelp just before it gets too close to the halfway area. This will trigger the first Low Tide. Kill off one side of the invading force with a Cherry Bomb and finish off or at least delay the other two rows with Puff-shroom spam until they can be dealt with using Magnifying Grass. Continue filling out your Twin Sunflower and Magnifying Grass columns, and delay on killing the zombies whenever possible.
As Surfers, Octos, and Fishermen appear, shoot them down with Magnifying Grass shots, but note that you can save on sun by using Kelp to kill them, especially the Fishermen/Octos. Plant extra Lily Pads and Sun-shrooms as well, they will provide even more sun, be used as a buffer, and can double as positions for Puff-shrooms. Use Cherry Bombs to counter Low Tide attacks and save on sun. Gargantuars can be killed quickly with Magnifying Grass shots and if they need to be delayed, use Lily Pads, Sun-shrooms, and Puff-shrooms to do so.
Strategy 3
- By Mathdude314
The strategy wins!
Somewhat similar to Strategy 2 but this one takes advantage of the Infi-nut in stopping Fisherman Zombies.
- Suggested plants:
- Twin Sunflower
- Magnifying Grass
- Sun Bean
- Infi-nut
- Lily Pad
- Tangle Kelp
- Cherry Bomb or other instant to take out Gargantuars
Define the bottom left tile to be (1, 1). Plant Twin Sunflowers on the third column. Dig up the Lily Pads that preexist. Start planting Magnifying Grass on column two. As you progress, build Twin Sunflowers to the fifth column excluding (5, 3). Use Sun Bean to get extra sun. When the Fisherman Zombie comes, plant an Infi-nut at (5, 3) and use Plant Food on it. You will have 14 Twin Sunflowers at best. Use Cherry Bombs for large groups of zombies or for Gargantuars.
Strategy 4
- Created by Redhonker
- This does not require premium plants
- Suggested plants:
- Plant a column of Primal Sunflowers.
- Plant a few Primal Wall-nuts to prepare for the ambush.
- When the low tide comes, immediately plant Primal Potato Mine, pick location to kill the zombies in rows without Primal Wall-nut.
- In other rows, plant A.K.E.E. Try to survive without using Plant Food. You can use Cherry Bomb.
- Reserve for Tangle Kelp to kill Fisherman Zombie, try to kill it as soon as it appears (single).
- Stall a Deep Sea Gargantuar with Primal Wall-nuts, use Primal Potato Mine to kill the others.
- When a group of Fisherman Zombies appear, kill one with Tangle Kelp and others with Cherry Bomb.
- Use Plant Food on A.K.E.E. to deal with Surfer Zombie and Octo Zombie.
- When all fails, launch the lawn mower. (I was able to survive without it most of the time)
Strategy 5
- Created by Tung.jiaxing.5
- This does not require premium plants
- Suggested plants:
- Sun-shroom
- Snapdragon
- Tangle Kelp
- Cherry Bomb
- Any other plant you need.
- At the start of the level, fill up the first column with Sun-shrooms.
- When first zombie approaches, plant a Snapdragon on the second column and continue to plant it until it has fully filled up the third column.
- When the low tide comes, immediately plant Cherry Bomb and Infi-nut on center of the third lane with Plant Food.
- Reserve Tangle Kelp to kill Octo Zombies as well as the Fisherman Zombies.
- As for the remaining columns, fill them up with Infi-nut.
- When the Gargantuar appears, use Cherry Bomb to finish it off.
