People could not find drinkable water at the beach.
The story describes a "large sandy beach" with only salt water that "just made them thirstier," so the people could not drink the seawater. This implies a coastal environment where fresh water was not available on the shore, so people would need to seek provisions or fresh water elsewhere.
