Would you go to the beach

Not if the weather's like this!
I'd watch a sunset/sunrise/eclipse, and find a photogenic place to watch from yes 
When visiting fumeroles down some deep gully in complete darkness, only the ship lights illuminating the terrain directly ahead it reminds me of submarine footage from the sea floor IRL. I hope to be able to explore in fluids like that in the game too one day. A benefit beyond simple curiosity would be nice too, perhaps the research angle in Odyssey will provide that.

If there are clothing restrictions, yes. I will be behind the dune, next to the binoculars.
Only for the G5 cannon blueprint.
I've lived near a beach in the North of England for nearly my entire life...you have no idea how much I hate sand 
So probably not...

Same here on the south coast - I share your hatred of sand!
It's lakes and mountains for me, but absolutely yes. I've been looking forward to that since the Kickstarter, and arguably in my headcanon since 1984 when I read The Dark Wheel and its mention of retirement beside an alien sea. You could sort of do this in Frontier and FFE but the graphics, while impressive for their day, weren't as impressive as the imagination when it came to planet surfaces.
I've waxed lyrical about this on a few threads over the years but this is among the earliest still available that I could find.
(Aside: I just noticed that the penultimate paragraph in that post seems to predict the mechanics of synthesis using gathered materials, and even touch on the fringes of Engineering, several months before Horizons introduced them. I should have sent FD an invoice.)

My suspicion is we'll have planets of 1 biome. So no beaches.
Chris Rea likes this.
If we thought it had a realistic chance of happening we'd all be looking forward to it.
So, I'm not looking forward to it.

Felicity Farseer at the beach, with Etienne Dorn borrowing Bottom Hat’s binoculars.....I can’t un-see that image now.
Nearly every ELW I orbit I can’t help looking for the cove or small island that I’d make my home. I live in a city so I love sand, except for what it does to books and sandwiches....and I can’t walk across it in flip flops, actually I just can’t walk in flip flops.
