going to go vs. going to

Hello, everyone! I'd like to know if there is any difference between these two sentences: 1) I'm going to the beach (in the meaning of having an intention to go there); 2) I'm going to go to the beach? Thank you in advance.

Polina Smirnova I'd like to know if there is any difference between these two sentences: 1) I'm going to the beach (in the meaning of having an intention to go there); 2) I'm going to go to the beach? No great difference. The first suggests more assuredness: the plan is a strong one.
