I took pics on beach about 30 minutes before sunset and used ISO 400, shutter 160, F8 and images grainy. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Grainy pictures on beach...help!

Without seeing the shot, I can only speculate that you probably should've opened your lens wide open and gone with a much longer shutter speed. Like 60. And go with a lower setting like 100 or 200. Anything above that and noise comes into play and what you end up with is a slightly underexposed image.

Also a good thing to try is to try multiple exposure settings. Use a technique called "bracketing" (which simply means shooting the same picture at different exposures) to get the best shot. If the picture is too bright, underexpose it and vice versa. Usually, you go -1,0,+1 and most have a bracketing mode.
