Storyline

- TriviaDaphne's surfboard has the same deco as the Mystery Machine, which is itself absent throughout the episode.
- GoofsWhen the monster snaps Fred's lasso and he and Velma fall into the sea, Daphne comes to them on her jet ski and she is shown to be in full scuba gear. But when the shot changes and the camera switches to above, all of her scuba gear is gone; including her flippers. Furthermore, the rope, rather than falling as well, hangs in mid-air for a second and then disappears.

Featured review
No sea monster zone
How could anybody resist an episode with such an attention grabbing tongue twister title? It is also very hard to resist any episode of Scooby Doo set on the beach with heavy use of the sea. There are other Scooby Doo episodes with this setting, such as 'Scooby Doo and Scrappy Doo's' "Twenty Thousand Screams Under the Sea" (decent but unexceptional) and 'The New Scooby and Scrappy Doo Show's' "No Sharking Zone" (one of the better episodes of that show).
"She Sees Sea Monsters by the Sea Shore" sadly doesn't live up to its great title. The premise was quite good if not the most original, but the execution was a bit of a mixed bag. Can't complain about the setting and the sea monster is what particularly elevates "She Sees Sea Monsters by the Sea Shore" to a greater level, but the story has never really properly engaged me. Worth a look definitely, but a lesser outing of a solid Season 1 of a show that has gone up in my estimations.
The animation is great, especially the water action and the design and movements of the sea monster. The setting is so nostalgic and inviting and the episode makes the absolute most of it, including seeing Daphne surf (she has got quite some skill on a surf board). The music is a good fit and has groove and atmosphere. The theme song is not too much of an earworm and the intro is creatively animated. The voice acting is fine.
One of the best aspects is the sea monster, a sea monster that is very uniquely designed and is very sinister. You know a sea villain is scary when any sudden water movement gives you the heebie jeebies. There is a nice mix of old and new, especially everything underwater which did remind me of the gang's ventures underwater in earlier shows. The writing is fun, did like Shaggy's amusing joke about Crunchy even if it was also on the corny side. The episode does start off really well and the chase song and scene are a strong example of a great song and chase scene being better than the episode they come from.
On the other hand, the story isn't really anything special outside of the promising opening. The middle feels thin and over-stretched, making for some draggy pacing, and the surprises are too few from having too many elements reminiscent of similar episodes. The only surprises really were the motive and how one sea monster attack was done that is explained in the denouement (that was very clever).
Excepting that explanation, the denouement left me mixed to negative on the whole. The perpetrator is neither obvious or shocking, but the solution did seem on the complicated side and the motive while a surprise and fairly different was a bit confused and extreme for me. Can see what the perpetrator and episode were trying to do and say here, but the lengths they go here in the episode is a pretty extreme way to put it across and seemed on the heavy handed side.
Summarising, unexceptional episode but still not at all bad. 6/10.
