Beaches are a good place to take pictures of many other things... lighthouses,
sunsets... that have nothing to do with whoever is there.  I usually try to
ignore other people... being tagged for a sex crime just because my camera

So if they do something bad, and you just tell what they did without
opinion, it could be defamation?  Consider the state of things right now, I
am surprised we don't have one like this.
