Well first he said "in Thanalan".

There is no beach areas in Thanalan, and secondly the beach areas in Limsa are so washed up and bland, 1 has a little out villege that, is not being used at all, hopefully Hamlet uses one, be nice, but there so bare, its just rock and sand, nothing else. Or the one with mobs on you cant really go to without being 1shotted and there is nothing on it.

A tropical beach would be nice, with boats and stuff. Bit like what we have seen in some cutscenes.
