I wants a tent that will take 5 to 10 minutes to set up and I don't know what one to get because there is different kinds.
Answer
I got a cheap $30 one from Kmart that I love. It's a 3 man backpacking tent. I've gotten to the point where I can set it up by myself in about 3 minutes.

It actually fits 2 comfortably with gear. I take it on all of my boyscout outings, and even a week long camp where I experienced 70 mph winds and drenching rain, with only minimal leakage, as it was raining sideways.
This tent only has 2 poles (3 including the rain fly) and 6 tent stakes, so it's an easy and simple setup

Sort of:
If you're camping in a designated campground then yes, you can camp on the beach (almost). Apache, Ocean Lakes, PirateLand, Myrtle Beach State Park, etc... although, technically, the tent spaces at none of these is east of the dunes. You'd get wet at high tide and your tent would wash away.
Then too, from an experienced (by order of the military) camper; you'd not want to camp on the beach. There are all sorts of really good reasons to be at least 300 yards inland and in a tree line. Not the least are the sand critters that would snack on you but also the winds that whip up and sandblast you or blow your gear away. All of your food would become sand-filled. If a storm came up you'd have no protection. And, most important, IT'S HOT! We had a heat index of 120 here two days ago on the beach - can you imagine what a tent felt like? You need to camp in the tree line.
On public beaches there's a city ordinance that not only can you not camp there - you can't sleep there on your beach towel between 9PM and sunrise either. http://www.myrtlebeach.com/site/pages/myrtle-beach-laws/#11
Safe? I'd think definitely not in a public place. No more safe than sleeping on a park bench or in a KMart parking lot in the open. It'd be a good way to get washed to sea at high tide (ok, you'd really just wake up wet) and would be a clear invitation to the 'bad guys' that you would like to be robbed, beaten, abducted, etc... since you're not sleeping anywhere that has any safety/security at all.
You might make some new homeless friends though who could show you the ropes of being homeless and which wooded lots are best to sleep in.
If you want to camp here - spend the money for a decent campground site. If you're cheap, stay at a state park (we have two on the beach) in a tent site.
