Exegesis
The aorist estē {ἔστη | éstē} ‘stood’ presents Jesus as fixed in view, while eis ton aigialon {εἰς τὸν αἰγιαλόν | eis ton aigialón} is best heard in context as locative, since the verb of standing makes position the focus.
In context — John 21:4
When morning had already come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
