Is there considered correct if I put (the beach) in front of the picnic? Like:

(a) They are at the beach for a picnic.

How about these?

(b) They went to the beach for a picnic.

(c) They are beside the beach to have a picnic.

(d) They are going to the beach to have / for a picnic.

(e) They go to the beach to have a picnic.
