I hope this isn't new advice to you but I think your most important filter is a UV haze or sky filter to protect your front element, the beach can be extremely harsh on equipment. That being said I tend to stay away from CC filters, but might use a Circ Polar if the sun is right. Much of your decision rests with when you plan on shooting, an 81A can work well to warm up the skin tones. On the other side a soft focus is fun to play with also for effect. In the end the choice is yours obviously, I just stay away from most filters and try to concentrate on controlling the lighting.
