AS THE PILOT WAS CLIMBING THROUGH ABOUT 700 FT MSL, HE OBSERVED A PERSON ON THE BEACH WAVING AT HIS AIRCRAFT. HE THOUGHT THE PERSON WAS SOMEONE HE KNEW SO HAD MADE A DESCENDING TURN TO 500 FT TO TAKE A BETTER LOOK. WHEN HE DETERMINED THAT IT WAS THE WRONG PERSON, HE INITIATED A CLIMB. AS HE ADVANCED THE THROTTLE, THE ENGINE RESPONDED MOMENTARILY, THEN LOST POWER. HE MANEUVERED TO LAND ON THE BEACH. HOWEVER, THE BEACH WAS TOO CROWDED, SO HE DITCHED IN THE OCEAN. HE STATED THAT HE USED NO CARBURETOR HEAT SINCE HE WAS FAMILIAR WITH FLYING THE PIPER PA-28, WHICH ACCORDING TO HIM, REQUIRED NO CARBURETOR HEAT DURING LOW POWER SETTINGS. WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE CONDUCIVE TO CARBURETOR ICE.
