You could have made a worse choice in detector, so don't get discouraged.
Like I said, i don't get a chance to detect beaches often, BUT these things I have learned from my past experiences and/or from reading what others have posted here:
1) Soil conditions can change a lot on a beach, especially moving from dry sand to wet sand, so you may need to adjust your sensitivity frequently.
2) I'm not sure whether you're hunting east coast or west coast, but a pocket of "black sand" will wet your detector off if you come across it unexpectedly.
3) You might try this trick that Garret 250 users have found works for them....rather than wrapping the cable low on the shaft like your manual probably shows, tape it in a straight line up up the side of the shaft until after you get to the upper shaft---then wrap it.
4) even though your detector requires motion, slow down. Many people, especially beginners, have a tendency to swing too fast.
