mhmm I can't think of one that plays at the beach the whole time...but:
The Heirs (beginning of Ep1 only) a little surfing...
Emporer of the sea (partly, especially the beginning) slaves trying to escape and merchants, historical
Pirates (almost all the time, it's a movie though, and mostly at sea)
Rurouni Kenshin Kyoto Inferno/the legend ends (partly) there are some fight scenes on a ship and they almost drown...
I'm sorry this is probably not what you're looking for but I can't think of anything else :/
