As BPP already guessed, the closer would be:
Je vais aller à la plage
If you want to state this future is close, you can also say, depending on how soon it’s going to be:
Je vais bientôt à la plage.
Je [ne] vais pas tarder à aller à la plage.
Je m’apprête à aller à la plage.
Je suis sur le point d’aller à la plage.
I am going to go to the beach = je suis en train d’aller à la plage (I am on the way). On contrary, “je vais à la plage” does not imply you have gone – – example: somebody tells you “I see your car is out. Are you going somewhere?” “Yes, I go to the beach” eg. “I plan to go to the beach” (but I am still at home).
