It aired on Fox Kids as a 30-minute show and Fox Family (later shown on ABC Family) as an extended 60-minute show in the late summer/early fall of 2001 for 6 episodes (the entire series was then rerun), with J.D.

The show was filmed on Pilaa Beach near Hanalei on the island of Kauai's North Shore.

[1] At the conclusion of the second cycle, a half-hour Moolah Beach: The Reunion special was aired, in which the contestants discussed what they had been doing since the series ended, as well as fielding questions from audience members.

At the end of the program, Roth stated that a new season of Moolah Beach would be airing in the summer of 2002, but that never materialized.

In Kahuna Missions, the six teams competed in a game of skill to win offerings (colored markers) that would help to keep them on the beach.

Kyle was the fifth and final person to grab the idol and chose Shari as his partner and chose green as their color, which meant that Jacob and Chloe became partners by default and also became the orange team.

In the Makahiki Mission, team members had to hang onto a rotating pole, or Pig Spit, while getting sprayed with water by their teammate.

Kyle was the last contestant to hang onto the spit, deeming the Green Team the winner.

In end, the Great Kahuna exiled the Blue Team, Chasati and Xavier, from the beach.

Summer and Clark, the Purple Team, won the Makahiki Mission, an obstacle course called Kukini.

The Green Team, Kyle and Shari, won the Kahuna Mission, called Hula Bridge.

In the end, the Great Kahuna exiled the Orange Team from Moolah Beach.

In the Makahiki Mission, "X Marks the Spot", the teams climbed a rope bridge suspended above the water.

Drew and Nancy thought they were doomed to leave, but to everyone's surprise, the Great Kahuna exiled the Yellow Team from the beach instead.

Purple chose Canoe and Volcano, leaving Green with Fire and Thunder.

In the Temptation of the Spirits, JD offered the Purple Team prizes if they gave three idols to Green, but they declined.

The 12 contestants returned to talk about their time on the show, as well as answering questions from audience members and discussing what they had been up to since the series ended.
