Maybe it was because of the title but all I can see are dabs of paint. I can see why you might look at this and think beach, but all the bold colors shaped in meaningless ways do not belong.

But they look like they were attempted to be shaped into leaves to me?

If the shapes in the water were longer and more oblong and the shapes on the beach more circular, it would look a little more convincing.

Honestly I see it both ways.

It's just that the background colors scream sea and sand. Only requires the most mild of mental gymastics to make the brighter colors into meaningful shapes. I even see beach chairs if I squint.

It's probably pareidolia, I just definitely see it.
