The picture is not too clear, but it sure looks like a polychaete worm
(annelid). If it does have a hard exoskeleton, it could also be a
millipede (arthropoda diplopoda) but it doesn't seem to be at first
glance.

I'm very sure it's a polychaete worm, more specific it belongs to the
errantia. For further determination, the picture isn't clear enough.

It's a sand worm, pretty common on warm beachs.
