I'm not very sure of this one, same beach, near Etretat (France), at seaside, on seaweeds.
I first thought at Coelopidae, but looks very like Orygma luctuosum (Sepsidae).

Size : 7-8 mm.

Yes, this is Orygma - we had one previously - see

Please submit one of your photos to the gallery - this is a very odd-looking sepsid! Smile
