In simple terms, there are 2 main reasons why it is often more windy at the beach than inland.

The main reason is due to friction. When the wind comes from the sea the beach only has the sea in front of it. Further inland, trees, buildings, hills etc cause blockages to the wind flow which causes the wind to be less. The beach has more exposure to the wind than inland.

The other reason is due to sea breeze influences (or thermal influences). Sea Breezes are usually stronger near the beach than further inland. The exception may be on the sea breeze front itself.

So in summary, friction and thermal contrasts are the main forces responsible

no because it need more sun light than cloud/ In cloudy conditions, the light will become a limiting factor hence the amount of oxygen produced on a sunny day will be more than on a cloudy day.
