N. Sanity Beach

thumb|500px|right Are you ready to start the adventure to save Tawna? -Official description

N. Sanity Beach is the first level in Crash Bandicoot, the first game in the series. It has been perhaps the most famous level in the series.

This level's gem is made much harder by the inclusion of a crate bridge (pictured here) down the right fork in the road, just before the exit. The player, after collecting the two boxes down the left fork, must then track back and hit the ! box to reveal the crate bridge. The player must then bounce onto every crate without dying to get the Clear Gem at the end of the level.

In other games
The place itself is also featured in Crash Team Racing as the very first area visited in the game's adventure mode.

It also appears in the "non-100% ending" seen in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back. In Crash Twinsanity, it is the very first free-roaming location.
