While I would rather not work while on the beach, I can definitely see the value of being able to work while at the beach.

What I mean is that, instead of having 2 weeks of vacation per year, having to schedule it, and when I get to the location I'm out of work mode entirely -- maybe I can up and leave my hometown at will, spend a week at the beach or in the mountains or wherever whenever I wish, and still be connected and able to get my work done.

So, for example, I could get up in the morning and get some stuff done. Around 2 or so I pop out to the beach for a few hours. Then I come inside to finish up with work in the evening.

I work remotely. This past winter I traveled to visit some family in a warm place. I spent the nicer days off, and enjoying my locale, and the not so nice days working as usual.

It's a nice way to only take 2 days off from work but actually get some relaxing time in a different setting.

I've worked a couple of months from the mountains, so I was able to go skiing every morning for a couple of hours and then work the rest of the day.
