There are some good beach threads here somewhere, but here are some general pointers (IIRC):
1. You want some kind of edge at the end of the sand in the pond to keep it from wandering off - like a row of cement blocks.
2. Landscape cloth under the sand is usually thought of well as it helps keep plants from growing on the beach.
3. Shallow is good for the beach, both above and below the water. People loath walking out on a 3:1 slope. Maybe 5:1 for a beach?
