Moolah Beach is a reality show in the vein of Survivor, but with teenagers competing in competitions in order to not be exiled from the beach and ultimately win $25,000. 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. Roth serving as both host and producer. The show was filmed on Pilaa Beach near Hanalei on the island of Kauai's North Shore.

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. The format of the show was later reworked into the Discovery Kids series Endurance.
