Check for instance this place in Bretagne, France.
It looks reasonable to me that beach names are as much important as neighborhood names, for instance. Often, they are one of the main attractions of a city. They are well visible on the map, but there are often multiple beach names for every coastal city. This one is close to another one, than you can see on the right. They have different names. Also sometimes, beaches don't map to cities : they can be a lot more known than the surrounding cities themselves.
In the map above, the "La Fosse" label is of arguably of interest for very local searches, while the beach just above (called Longchamps) might be on par with the city itself (Saint-Lunaire) in this coastal conurbation. As you can see, the beach spans two cities : Saint-Lunaire and Saint-Briac.
TLDR : beach names are, I think, as important as park names, but I can't find them in the OpenMapTiles spec :)

Solution : it doesn't look hard to add a beach label. But beaches are in landcover. I'm not familiar enough to propose a change in the yaml config files.
Thanks @laem for pointing this out. The landcover layers do not contain name attribute. Will be better to extend the poi layer for natural=beach and keep the points with the name of the beach there.
Hi, I'm missing beach names.
