I was curious so I looked it up and "beach women" (磯女, iso-onna) are indeed established in yokai folklore. Like how she's depicted, they're stealthy and use their prehensile hair to capture people to eat. (I'm reading they're also supposed to be conventionally attractive and sultry but artistic license and whatnot.) I'm looking forward to seeing what other obscure water yokai this series will involve.
