Larry the Lobster - a lobster who works at a beach called Goo Lagoon. He is the lifeguard.

The show takes place in a city called Bikini Bottom. Bikini Bottom is located in the Pacific Ocean. There are many places in the city like the Sea Needle (a bit like the Space Needle).

The Krusty Krab is a restaurant in the city of Bikini Bottom. It is run by a crab, Eugene H. Krabs. Two workers at the restaurant are SpongeBob SquarePants (fry cook), and Squidward Tentacles (cashier). The fast food that is sold are the popular Krabby Patty (which is similar to a hamburger), French fries, and drinks.

The Chum Bucket is a restaurant that is across the street from the Krusty Krab. It is owned by Sheldon J. Plankton, but only a few people go there. The only customers who went to the Chum Bucket were the ones eho didn't like the Krusty Krab service. One fish even said "This is the worst service ever. I'm going to the Chum Bucket." (because SpongeBob thinks he's a movie star, and he stops cooking patty's). Plankon is continuously trying to steal the Krabby Patty secret formula, which only Mr. Krabs knows. Plankton also has a computer wife named Karen.
