After the storm, local volunteers organized a rapid response to the unexpected beachings of seals and small dolphins.

They were beaching the lifeboat carefully to avoid damage.

The beaching of several dolphins alarmed the coastal community.

The general ordered the troops to secure the beach-heads before nightfall.

The rented beach chair with a canopy and wind flaps kept us comfortable and protected from sun, wind, rain, and blowing sand all afternoon.

Under cover of darkness, the battalion secured three beach heads along the coast to prepare for the main assault.

The children chased the colorful beach balls across the sand as the tide rolled in.

We rented bikes and rode along the waterfront in Long Beach to watch the sunset.

After work, we joined a local beach soccer pickup game by the pier.

The colorful beach huts lined the shore, each painted in a different bright pattern.
