    Also, found on sandy beach in the shrub thickets.

    Answer

    Dear Howard, good morning again. You have photographed a species of chokeberry (Aronia), in the rose family. It looks like black chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa), but I can't see the branchlet surfaces to see if they are hairy or not. If they are hairy, it would be a different species. Best wishes.
