No. The echidna is a mammal, even though it lays eggs. It belongs to the very small group of egg-laying mammals known as monotremes, same as the platypus.

Does an Echidna have a beak?

An echidna does not have a beak in the sense that a bird has a beak. The two extant species of echidna are the long-beaked echidna of New Guinea and the short-beaked echidna of Australia, but the beak is actually a long snout, like that of an anteater. It is not made of hard material, but is soft, though strong.
