I would imagine drone technology here would reduce the tediousness of this particular activity. Fly above and take recordings of the beach, using software to map the maximum reach of the waves.
However, the real problem persists. The closer you make the increments, the "longer" the coast will be. It's like trying to measure the circumference of a fractal.
It took me all day to get around to it, and only about two hours to complete, but I did a thing I’ve been putting off for days now that will benefit me exponentially down the line. And I’m very smugly pleased with myself about it.
Im never more motivated to finish all my 900 projects than when im in the middle of a work task. Honestly on weekends ill go in my office and pretend im doing work just to get ideas for what I want to actually do.

In fact it might even solve some problems.

How did you know I was avoiding the 96 things I should be doing and instead walking in circles thinking up more things I could be doing?

My howling chaotic void of a mind told me "That's Glenn Beck."
Survey says:
7/10, plausible, though these days Glenn seems to too much of a gut to easily assume the pictured position.
Also, to Stamstam:
REMINDER!
Please figure out the whole roommate thing, we all don't wanna see you outdoors this winter. <3
