Morphology

beachside = beach + side (transparent) = beach + side

The noun meaning 'area next to a beach' is a direct denotation of the compound components without idiomatic shift.

Etymology

Beachside is made from beach + side, meaning the 'area next to a beach', and that is why the beachside often has houses, shops, or places for people to walk and relax by the water.
