I'm not positive that this is a Sandpiper.. So correct me if I'm wrong.

I just thought it was cute how he was running away from the wave

Yeah just compared it to the western sandpiper and I am positive that it is a sanderling.
Here's an excerpt from enature:"One of the most widespread of all shorebirds, the Sanderling turns up on almost every beach in the world. As a wave comes roaring in, the birds run up on the beach just ahead of the breaker, then sprint after the retreating water to feed on the tiny crustaceans and mollusks left exposed."
