Dragon Shores is a vacation spot in the Dragon Realms in the original Spyro series and its remake in the Spyro Reignited Trilogy. The realm consists of both a beach area and a theme park. The theme park rides are operated by Showman Gnorcs.

In the prologue, Spyro and Sparx attempted to go to Dragon Shores for a vacation, but their portal was intercepted by the Professor, Elora, and Hunter. The focus of the game is to defeat Ripto so that Spyro can return to his trip to the park.

Objectives

After Ripto is defeated, the Super Portal can take Spyro to Dragon Shores. However, to get into the park, the player must have 8,000 gems and 55 orbs. Once inside, there are various minigames which give Spyro tokens upon completion:

• One game consists of a gnorc tossing softballs on the ground, which Spyro can pick up in his mouth. The game consists of Spyro using these unlimited softballs to hit the target, which will make a character (the yeti, an Earthshaper, or the Master Chef) sitting in the chamber fall into the water below.
• Another is not a game but a short ride through a "tunnel of love." Spyro will hop onto a boat alone, then after 3-5 other boats past (all with 2-3 characters on them, comically unusual romantic pairs of Avalar residents), he will emerge from the other side paired with a partner of his own. 
• The third game consists of three rounds of Spyro using a temporary superflame power up to shoot targets. One round is simply flat-looking duck targets moving in circles, but the last two rounds contain enemies from the game. One resembles whack-a-mole, only with Scarlet Lizards. The other uses Water Workers.

• The last game is a roller coaster that Spyro can ride along, similar to the trolley from Breeze Harbor. The first round consists of Spyro going through a linear path while avoiding obstacles and popping balloons. The other rounds add side paths and a cannon used to pop faraway balloons.

If the game is 100% completed (10,000 Gems and 64 Orbs), a gate will open to reveal a permanent superflame powerup.

Once all ten tokens have been collected, a theater is unlocked, where the game's cutscenes can be viewed. Once Spyro has visited this area, the cutscenes also become accessible in the Guidebook.

Trivia

• In Spyro: Year of the Dragon, Bentley asked Spyro what he planned to do after defeating the Sorceress and suggested he take a vacation at Dragon Shores.
• Dragon Shores is the only level where the name of the homeworld actually appears on its exit portal.
• Dragon Shores is the only bonus world that does not require the player to reach 100% to access it. The player only needs 80% of the gems and about 86% of the orbs to unlock it. However, the player does need 100% to unlock the permanent Superflame.
• This is the only bonus world with no gems.
• In the original version of Ripto's Rage, the dragon statues outside the main entrance resemble an Artisans Dragon and a Magic Crafters Dragon. In the Reignited Trilogy, the statues are instead modeled after the crystalized dragon statues from the the first game.
• In the original version of Ripto's Rage, the dunk tank minigame features the Colossus Yeti, an Earthshaper, and the Master Chef. In the Reignited Trilogy, a gnorc will also appear in the tank after the first three have been dunked once.
• If you beat Ripto's Rage! and enter the Superflame power-up at the end of Dragon Shores then save and quit and create a new save file, the new file will have Superflame at the start of the game.

Original Game

• When going to the shooting gallery for the first time, when choosing whether to play or not, "No" is intentionally misspelled as "Gno." This is a reference to how all Gnorc names are spelled with "Gn" instead of "N"
• The realm itself seems to be heavily based on the first installment, due to the fact it is hosted by Gnorcs, there are statues of both an Artisans Dragon and a Magic Crafters Dragon, its architecture is similar to Dream Weavers and has the exact same skyline as Dream Weavers as well.
  • Despite this, the portal leading to Dragon Shores is not located in the Dream Weavers homeworld, but instead from the unexplored Dragon Realms area seen in the second and third games. 
• The background on the portal back to Winter Tundra is different from the actual level.

Reignited Trilogy

• In the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, certain characters have special animations if Spyro ends up with them on the Tunnel of Love:
  • Greta motions for him to get off the ride with a karate chop.
  • One of the Fauns begins dancing.
  • The Colossus Yeti T-poses. This is assumed to be a glitch.
