Sex in the beach or sex on the beach?
sometimes I find it difficult to differentiate the use of in and on. can anybody help me clarify a little bit?
From the textbook I guess it should be "on" but if you goggle, you can find both.
this maybe a little off topic but looks like English itself has been evolving overtime, especially since internet age. some mistakes are tolerated and become a part of the language as English people engages ESL people more. what'

Sex on the beach is the right usage. This is because beach is open & the act is done on the beach .
Sex in the bedroom is right usage. This is because bedroom is enclosed by walls & the act is done inside the bedroom.
Sex on the bed in the bedroom is right usage. This is because bedroom is enclosed by walls & the act is done inside the bedroom AND the act is done on the bed & not inside the bed.

Even if you're referring to the cocktail, sex on the beach is the correct usage. I don't think this has changed in English since long time
