I am still learning...but would suggest you spend a little into some training. One source I've found very helpful is KelbyOne. For $25 a month you get access to TONS of how to videos. This is the first month I've tried it, and well worth the price...if nothing else for Lightroom/Editing tips alone.

Shoot raw. Read about your focus points, etc. Adobe rgb. I do like Lightroom as well.

are there now p&s cameras for $300-$500 that can shoot 3-5 fps consistently and where iso over 800 doesn't cause a bunch of noise for indoor shots no flash?
The OP just wanted to learn to take presentable pics of his daughter on the beach. For that any phone camera will do fine. He wasn't talking about doing indoors sports photography.

The OP just wants to take decent shots of his daughter on the beach in (probably) strong sunlight. He probably isn't interested in devoting a solid part of his spare time reviewing his RAW shots in Lightroom and applying corrections, much less in learning how to take shots that are correctable with a minimum of fuss.
He just wants to learn how to compose a shot. That's it, and it's a laudable goal. My point was that a camera phone is enough for this.

Pretty good info in this thread. Honestly once you have a couple of good shots it would be worth it to jump over to manual and play with the settings...or try taking some pics before you get there around the same time of day that way you'll know around what shutter speed/ISO/aperture to use. You'll have better control over exposure than letting the camera decide for you a good rule of thumb I've always practiced is underexposing my shot by 1/3rd-1/2 a stop. Looking through the viewfinder aim your focus point at your subject and you'll notice the light meter at the bottom move left (underexposed) or right (overexposed) depending on your settings.
Another thing with composition, look at your frame and divide it into three parts vertically and horizontally like a tic tac toe board. Placing the subject in the intersecting lines coupled with a good background makes for very good images that have good depth to them .
