During a high tide, whales will swim into shallower waters (to catch food perhaps? Though it is most likely that they are just lost), unaware of danger. As the tide changes, the water may move away before the whales have a chance to swim deeper, leaving them lying in the sand. Also, whales can be swept ashore by large waves in storms or a tsunami. (Think: After Katrina, all of New Orleans was flooded, so the surrounding beaches were deep underwater.[Hypothetically speaking] As the water drained they become stuck.
This is just my reasoning, I haven't actually researched it.

When a tsunami travels through the ocean does it affect whales?
Tsumanis won't affect whales as they travel through the ocean because it would just be another wave out at sea. If the whales were close to shore they could be swept inland, though.
Can whales live on the shore?
No, whales cannot live on the shore for an extended period. Whales like Dolphins need for their skin to be wet all the time, also in water they are basicly weightless and their physiology is such that when out of water for extended periods of time they become very tired from just the incredible effort it takes just to expand and contract their lungs. The above posters are correct, but I would like to add that whales need the buoyancy of water and if beached their own weight will kill them.
What animals live in the near shore?
Seaweed, plankton, dolphins, whales, sharks, fish, krill, porpoises, jellyfish, and shrimp.
