Ocean Palace, as the name says, is a palace in the middle of the ocean. It is similar to Seaside Hill in that it has the same platforms, robots and everything, except it also features palace-like ruins.
Story
After making it to the Whale Island, the heroes discover an ancient sea palace. Team Sonic and Team Dark chose to flee from the palace to pursue Dr. Eggman and smash his robots, destroy collapsing pillars, ride on giant, rock-carrying turtles, and eventually end up having to outrun three Kaos (giant, circular, boulders with demonic-looking faces and spikes sticking out on the side) to make it to the Goal Ring at the central palace. Team Rose is being dragged along with Amy by her hopeless obsession to find Sonic and must find the Goal Ring in the ruins floating on the sea. Team Chaotix must rescue a Chao from the palace on the orders of their mysterious client. The Egg Hawk is fought on a road and several small islands in the ruins near sea level.

In the Wii version of Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, part of Ocean Palace is used for Dream Fencing. It uses flags with the same designs as the stone pillars, and the bleachers are located in the sea.
Sonic Dash
In Sonic Dash, Ocean Palace (named Temple Zone) appears as part of the never-ending stage.
Trivia
Elements of this stage appear in Seaside Hill in the console/PC version of Sonic Generations. For example, after the player listens to the background music for Seaside Hill in the Modern level, the music then switches to Ocean Palace's music.
For some reason, the player can never see the Kaos falling into the water after they outrun them in the chase part of the level. The player can only hear them falling into the water pit between the chase area and the central palace entrance in which the Goal Ring is located. If the player tries spinning the camera while in the air to see them falling in, it would result in the player either falling into the water pit below them or getting hit by the Kaos in mid-air, causing them to fall into the water pit.
This is another one of the levels from the various games in which Sonic (or any other playable character) gets chased by something.
The far background image used for the stage is an aerial photograph of Lighthouse Reef located off the coast of Belize.
Interestingly enough, if players use glitches to get to Team Sonic's area with Team Chaotix, the Goal Ring still has the gold star in its center, instead of a back arrow.
