Yep.
Looking at some of the YouTube videos it looks like the aircraft may very well of landed in some shallow water of an outgoing tide. The beach goers towels and umbrellas are well up the beach slope. There is also the angle of the sun to consider re blinding reflections.
Scenario - gliding down and turn onto short final for a water landing Parallel to the beach and get blinded by the sun thus not seeing the bathers.
