Though the above activity is lovely (I've never been more content than when reading by the sea during the late evenings in Minorca), I also like walking around those cold, empty beaches in parts of Northumbria - there's a certain beauty in their desolation.
Likewise, I have a thing about beaches at night. Though it's difficult to convince people you're not a weirdo or a dogger when you're walking around one with a Jack Russell and a torch at midnight.
