Delmarva beaches are kinda not so great, honestly, but your best bets if you want to day-trip to the coast from DC: Sandy Point State Park (which I think is closest to the city) or Ocean City in Maryland, Bethany or Rehobeth Beach in Delaware, and Virginia Beach in Virginia. There are also Chincoteague and Assateague Islands, if you're into that stuff. :)
Most of the best / most accessible (and free!) tourist-y stuff is around the National Mall, yeah. If you ever want to just wander around a pretty neighborhood with good people watching and food, Dupont Circle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dupont_Circle,_Washington,_D.C.).
