Walking with bare feet in water at the edge of the beach (8)

I believe the answer is:

paddling

(Other definitions for paddling that I've seen before include "wading a bit" , "Propelling with a short, light oar" , "Walking in shallow water" , "Canoeing" , "Fence" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
