Hi,

I'm going to going the beach

No, 'going to' must be followed by the base form of the verb:

I'm going to go to the beach

I'm going to cook dinner

It's not very common to see this kind of sentece: "going to go", but it's not wrong.
Let's just think about the structure that is : to be going to + verb. So, as I say "I'm going to dance." I can also say "I'm going to go to the beach." But as I said, that's not very common, we usually say "I'm going to the beach"

Hope I've helped
