Any advice for running on incline / on the beach? Or should I avoid them for C25K?

Welcome to the forum.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Steep inclines are best avoided but if you have no option, just shorten your stride and use your arms to pump.

Beaches can be great for running on firm damp sand but some sands can almost hang onto your legs and cause extra strain on calves.

Ordnance survey maps are great for plotting routes and I use a free app, Maverick, which gives free access to the OS Landranger series which show all public footpaths, bridle paths and permissive paths.
