Answer 3

Answer 4

It would be better:

Voy a la playa a tomar sol.

el sol means the star.

sol is the heat it produces.

So, it would be better without the article el.

Voy a la playa a tomar sol.

Besides, a tomar sol sounds more natural than para tomar sol.

el sol = the sun - pesta, Jan 28, 2011

Answer 5

Voy a la playa para broncerame

I go to the beach to get suntan

Answer 6

"Para" has the underlying purpose of referring to a goal or destination. "Por" is used more for "by means of" or because of, due to". It sounds like the person in your sentence wants to sunbathe. So, I think the more accurate preposition is "Para". I hope I am understanding correctly what your question was!

I would say that the beach is his destination and the sun is the reason. - lorenzo9, Jan 28, 2011
