Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'stunning' (extremely attractive) modifies 'beach' (shore), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer 'an extremely beautiful beach.' This follows the standard adjective+noun pattern found cross-linguistically and is immediately understandable without prior exposure.
Etymology
Stunning beach uses stunning from the verb 'to stun', which means to shock or amaze. Imagine a view on a beach so beautiful it stops you. That's why it means 'extremely beautiful and impressive'.
