You can't say In the beach because "In" means you're in somewhere, like "In a house" "in a factory". And beach is not something you can be "In" there right? So "in the beach is not right.

"At the beach" simply tells you where you are. "On the beach" tells you where you are and draws attention to the fact that you're on the sand.
