How to choose?
Pick up a stylish slap for going to the beach - not the biggest problem. First of all, you need to focus on your taste.
It matters and correctly selected size. The heel should not “hang”, as there should not be a lot of free space - it looks unaesthetic.
The slap material, in principle, can be any, but it is preferable that it dries quickly and does not deform.
As for the height of the rise, then, of course, on the beach you will feel more comfortable in flat-soled shoes. And it is desirable at the same time that the straps reliably fixed the foot.

Also pay attention to all shoes. In lighter models, it’s more comfortable to enjoy a beach holiday.

Consider another nuance: if you relax on a pebble beach, then buy slippers with thick soles. A special case is beaches with coral reefs (for example, in Egypt), for such places there are indispensable rubber products that protect feet from cuts.
