The word 'beach' is a verb and a noun.

  • The noun 'beach' is a word for the shore of a body of water that may be covered with sand or pebbles; a word for a thing.
  • The verb 'beach' is to run or be hauled on shore; to be stranded on a shore without the ability to return to the water; a word for an action.

When used to describe a noun (a beach formation or a beach picnic, for example), the noun 'beach' is functioning as an attributive noun (also called a noun adjunct), a noun functioning as an adjective to describe another noun.
