A very heavy current flows in the conductor until sufficient charge has been neutralised to stop the breakdown of the air between the cloud and the ground.
IF the beach is made of dry sand, then the lightening makes a "fulgerite".
Yes, you would likely survive because water is a good conductor of electricity and the current from the lightning would disperse in the water. However, it is important to get out of the water as soon as possible to avoid any potential dangers from subsequent strikes or nearby electric currents.

Thor is the god of thunder. It is said when he strikes his harmer lighting strikes.
Jumping in the air when lightning strikes does not reduce the risk of getting struck or experiencing a shock. Lightning can still potentially strike a person even if they are not directly touching the ground, as it can travel through conductive objects like metal or water. It is safest to seek shelter indoors during a lightning storm.
