Does anyone have a "beachfront (tidepool?) saltwater paludarium"?

I hope the title made sense...

I was just curious if anybody could show me examples of "paludariums" except instead of fresh or brackish water I was curious to see a BEACH land area (perhaps with some landcrabs or something) with a transition into a shallower coral/saltwater area


I'm completely inexperienced with saltwater tanks so if there is some reason this would be overly difficult to create please let me know....I have a ton of experience with vivaria/etc.


This crossed my mind because I was working on a paludarium design and kept running short of height for my water...until I thought about using one of those shallow coral tanks....

just curious how viable something like this and if anyone has pictures/examples of such builds


just for reference, my current project is a 3'x3'x8' open-air chameleon free-range (after i complete construction I am going to attempt one of those arduino controller builds I see on these boards for it )
