Answers:
Some friends and I set up a "beach" party in a garage once. Kind of Hawaiian with leis & such. Those light up palm trees a cheap right now & you could make the lei's yourself pretty cheap with some tissue paper & string.

We filled up one kiddie pool with water & one with sand & had a blow up ring in the water & some sand toys in the sand. We set up a few heat lamps (it was January) and had a movie screen with slides of tropical places on it.

We served Corona & "Tiki" Punch (you could make any kind of punch you wanted to but ours was orange juice, pineapple juice & Malibu).

Guests were told to dress ready for the beach. One guy showed up in a speedo as a joke.

It was so much fun.

how about a 60s theme with chips prezels balloons old fashion cars a disco look lol dip
or

Does your apartment complex have a party room you can rent for your party? Many apartments have them for a very reasonable price for people who live there.

I went to a really fun Hawaiian themed party once... since you love the beach that might be cool if you don't go overboard with the decor. Everyone was asked to wear a Hawaiian shirt or sarong with flip flops or barefoot, and all the food was Hawaiian-ish. They served pina coladas, had a keg, etc.

how about a club theme like pairs hulton ... that would be hot

you could have a pink party, where everyone wears and everything is pink including kegs (add food coloring). sounds weird but people actually get into it. some people like ghetto fabulous parties. i went to a jock jams party and it was tight as heck (i woulda swore on this if i knew we could hah), people wore athletic clothing from the 90s and they played the CD's and everything. my friend had a necklace that had a boom box on it and she got a lot of compliments on it. things like that. theres so many themed parties i went to that were awesome. if i remember some more, ill put them in too.

i just threw a luau and they have all different kinds of decoration for that ....go to ....orientaltrading.com...dirt cheap prices...have fun
