The correct preposition is "at" — "They enjoy the day at the beach."


If you want to choose between "on," "in," or "by" — let's break it down:


at the beach → The most natural and common choice.
on the beach → Feels too literal, like being physically on the sand (but this is sometimes correct too, e.g., "They had a picnic on the beach.").
in the beach → Not idiomatic English.
by the beach → Means next to the beach, but not necessarily at it.


So in this context, the most natural choice is:




But if you really have to pick by, on, or in, then "on" is the closest:




If you want the most natural phrasing, though, I’d recommend:

So garden by the bay is wrong?

So garden by the bay is wrong?

Good catch! Actually, "Garden by the Bay" is correct — it's the name of a famous attraction in Singapore.


Here’s why:

• "By" is part of the name "Gardens by the Bay" — it's like saying "next to the bay" (the Marina Bay).
• The name itself uses "by" as a preposition in a descriptive way, telling you where the gardens are located — by the bay.

So in this case, "Garden by the Bay" (or correctly, "Gardens by the Bay") is not wrong at all — it’s a proper name.


However, in "They enjoy the day by the beach," "by" would usually mean beside or near the beach — not necessarily on it or at it.


So:
"Gardens by the Bay" (correct name)
"They enjoy the day at the beach" (most natural)
"They enjoy the day on the beach" (fine too, but a bit more literal, focusing on being on the sand)
"They enjoy the day by the beach" (less common unless you're focusing on them being nearby, but not necessarily at the beach itself).
