Etymology
浜 combines 氵 (water) with 兵, which likely contributes the sound ヒン. The character expresses a place where water meets land.
Meaning mnemonic
Water 氵 beside a soldier 兵: imagine a soldier standing guard at the water's edge, marking the beach.
Reading mnemonic
For ヒン, picture a beach so pristine that it makes you say 'hin' (a soft, admiring sound): hin -> ヒン, the beautiful seashore.
