You want to make it look like water that hits land and creates foam or? Or do you want it to look like it got different depths?

I think you need a tutorial to simulate that (well for depth just create a ground beaneth the sea) but water crushing on beaches rocks are far above my skill level. user added image

Good luck and tell me if you find a good tutorial. user added image
