It all depends on your ride. If you live on the beach and work on the beach then I can't imagine a better bike.

Me, I commute only 3 miles, but there are no flat spots on the ride, so I ride a mountain bike converted for street use. In past times my ride was 9 miles but fairly flat so I rode a 30 year old 10 speed. One commute was 17 miles with steep hills and long flat stretches. I rode a nice road bike. One commute had the center 5 miles of 7 going through a nature preserve, so I rode a mountain bike.

So if the beach cruiser will get you to and from work comfortably, easily and reliably, then go for it. Otherwise, look at the terrain, the weather and what stuff you must carry and get yourself a combination that will do the job.
