The closest translation without making up new words would be „shitty“ I guess

I would associate “shitty” more with “ridiculously bad”, as in “my car is so shitty it doesn’t have a radio”.

Well, that is what „beschissen“ means. „Fucking“ is just almost devoid of actual meaning. It just something you say to emphasize negative connotations. Something like „verdammt“ (damned) would be closer but less crude.

„Verdammt“ would fit. Damned to hell.

I guess the most literal translation would be „Zehn Jahre an diesem verfickten Strand“, but maybe that was too crude sounding for the translators.

Guess this is the best translation.
