What's 'Battle on the Beach?'
In Battle on the Beach, skilled renovation teams will revamp three identical beachfront properties, competing to earn a $50,000 cash prize, according to the HGTV webpage.
Each week, teams will face challenges culminating in judgments of the best renovated space, evaluated based on overall design, craftsmanship, and potential resale value, according to HGTV.
The show's previous seasons were filmed in Gulf Shores, Alabama, Surfside Beach, Texas, and Fort Morgan Beach, Alabama.
