B Correct answer
Explanation

When talking about walking along a beach surface, 'on' is the correct preposition. We say 'stroll on the beach' just as we say 'walk on the sand'. 'Over' suggests going above something, 'at' indicates location but not movement along surface, and 'in' would mean submerged in sand.
