Morphology

beachfront = beach + front (transparent) = beach + front

The compound clearly denotes the area or property at the front of a beach and is directly inferable from 'beach' + 'front'.

Etymology

The word beachfront combines beach and front, where front means the 'face' or 'edge' of something. So beachfront is the strip of land that faces the beach and is often used for houses, hotels, or shops.
