* {{Bowdlerize}: In the original ending to the film Arbuckle approaches a well-dressed woman on the street. She turns and is revealed to be a Black woman. Arbuckle mugs for the camera and runs away in a parody of fear. This ending was considered racist even by mid-1920s standards, and so it was cut from the film.

!!Tropes:
* AmusementPark: Luna Park on Coney Island. The film starts with a lovely clip of the park lit up at night.
* AsideGlance / BreakingTheFourthWall: Fatty looks at the camera and winks a couple of times. Another time, when he is changing into a swimming suit, he signals the camera to pan up. (This was a RecycledGag from earlier Arbuckle film ''Film/TheKnockout'').
* BeachBury: Fatty does this to himself to escape his nagging wife at the beach, using a periscope to confirm that she's left in search of him.
* TheCastShowoff: Keaton, a trained acrobat, does a standing backflip, just because he can.
* DisguisedInDrag: It's kind of accidental, as Fatty steals a woman's swimsuit after finding out that the rental counter doesn't have a men's swimsuit big enough for him. He also winds up grabbing the woman's wig and parasol, and puts the whole ensemble on.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Keaton, at this early stage in his career, had not evolved the "Great Stone Face" deadpan persona that he made famous in TheTwenties. Viewers more familiar with his later, more well-known work may be surprised to see a Keaton who cries, smiles, laughs hysterically, and mugs for the camera.
* LiteralAssKicking: In one scene Fatty stands between the other admirer and a cop, kicks the cop's butt, and ducks out of the way as the cop turns around and hits the other admirer.
* ManChild: Fatty is introduced at the beach, shoveling sand into a toy bucket with a plastic shovel.
* NamelessNarrative: Typical of silent pictures of the day. The guy hitting on Buster's girlfriend is here referred to as the "other admirer".
* UnsettlingGenderReveal: The other admirer is none too pleased to find out that Fatty's actually a man.
* WondrousLadiesRoom: After being kicked out of the men's room (which is just a shower) because he's dressed up as a woman, Fatty goes into the women's room, which has chairs and couches and full-length mirrors.
