Find the water line altitude. Add a Surface Shader for the beach. It will want to be under the water and a meter or two above he water line. Use the altitude tab to enter the high point of the beach. Turn on the smoothing in the last tab. After that you can add more surface shaders above the beach. They may even cross below the highest point of the beach to obscure the beach partially.

Try this tutorial by John. It covers the basics very well.
