Summer in Paradise is the twenty-seventh studio album by American rock band the Beach Boys, released on August 3, 1992, by Brother Records.

Produced by Terry Melcher, it is the only album not to feature any new contributions from Brian Wilson, and has been regarded as the band's critical and commercial low point, failing to chart in either the US or UK and receiving almost unanimously negative reviews.

With the exception of a new version of their 1970 track "Forever" and the new composition "Strange Things Happen", each song on the album deals thematically with the summer season.

The rest are original songs, all containing both titular and lyrical references to summer and/or surfing, with the exception of the Transcendental Meditation-influenced "Strange Things Happen".

Summer in Paradise was one of the first albums to be recorded using the Pro Tools digital audio workstation, via a Beta version on a Macintosh Quadra computer.

This included completely re-recorded and partially rewritten versions of "Island Fever" and "Summer in Paradise", the latter of which featured new lead vocals from Roger McGuinn on one verse.

The original US front sleeve features the painting "Elements of the Universe", while the album gatefold includes further Nelson works, notably "Ring of Life" (used for the alternate UK pressing), "Embraced By the Sea", and "Amethyst Dawn at Kipahulu".

The album packaging art direction and design by Spencer Drate with Judith Salavetz using the artwork of Robert Lyn Nelson on the multi-panels and CD disc.

A large number of unsold copies of the album were unloaded when the QVC network bundled them with the Good Vibrations: Thirty Years of the Beach Boys CD box set in 1993.

Andrew G. Doe and John Tobler, authors of The Complete Guide to the Music of The Beach Boys, described Summer in Paradise as, "the absolute nadir of their recording career.
