The water at the beach acts as a reflector. It shines the sun directly on you as opposed to absorbing the light or refracting it like grass or concrete/asphalt would.

The sun reflects back off the sand. It also does this with snow.

sun is hotter at the beach due to the sand holding the heat, and the water reflecting it
