Hi! I lived on the beaches in Hawai'i for a couple of months, and went barefoot the entire time. It's easier in Hawai'i, because all the stores & restaurants are happy to let you come in barefoot. My feet developed a nice callous on the spots I stepped on, so I could even walk on sharp lava rock, and hot pavement pretty easily. I ended up taking all of my steps with the ball of my feet first, sometimes even not putting my heel down all the way. I guess that's kind of chimp style?? Barefoot FTW.
