I know future tense and present tense-if you don’t present is: “Je vais à la plage.” (I am going to the beach) And future is: “J’irai à la plage.” (I will go to the beach) But how would you say ‘I am GOING to go to the beach.’ And so on?

1"Je vais aller à la plage". Is that what you want?– user5402Commented May 2, 2019 at 17:57

1Did I miss a subtlety between I will go to the beach and I WILL go to the beach?– SharcouxCommented May 3, 2019 at 0:36

As BPP already guessed, the closer would be:
Je vais aller à la plage
If you want to state this future is close, you can also say, depending on how soon it's going to be:
Je vais bientôt à la plage.
Je [ne] vais pas tarder à aller à la plage.
Je m'apprête à aller à la plage.
Je suis sur le point d'aller à la plage.
I am going to go to the beach = je suis en train d'aller à la plage (I am on the way). On contrary, "je vais à la plage" does not imply you have gone - - example: somebody tells you "I see your car is out. Are you going somewhere?" "Yes, I go to the beach" eg. "I plan to go to the beach" (but I am still at home).
