A realistic beach anyone?

#1

I’m working on a calm beach scene with seawater working up the sand slowly. Question is, how do I do the seawater foam that builds up at the end of every wave? I don’t want to use Terragen, I hope to do it mostly in 3dsmax, therefore the post here. Any and all suggestions are deeply appreciated!
