Indeed. I assumed at first though that the OP had a well developed sense of humor when I saw this

but to be fair, if you actually said "to the beach" to a taxi driver, it's quite likely the reply would be "which one?" ....
Seriously though, as much as I enjoy a stroll on a beach in mid-winter taking in the salty air, I recommend that you combine this one-day beach-by-the-large-body-of-water experience with a trip also to the end of the Great Wall (Shanhaiguan / Laolongtou).
Yes it's a bit (!) tacky, but you can access the beach easily from there as well (even take a boat out into the large-body-of-water rather than just looking at it) and see something else at the same time. Moreover at this time of year I doubt if there is going to be much going on around the "regular" beach areas, though I could be wrong about that.
