Good eye. There is a city in the background of the After shot, so it could be a different spot on the same beach, assuming it's a very long beach. But that also could mean that the other part of the beach is still full of garbage. Probably most likely different locations, and the creator is just trying to send a message.

It’s also a completely different camera angle. My guess is that the buildings are just to the left of where it is cropped.

Or different focal length and the building are those we see on the right of the picture

I googled Versova beach and the top result showed the cleanup of this beach. It took years, and the UN gave an award to the volunteer that organized it.

"Led by spirited young lawyer and environmentalist Afroz Shah, volunteers collected a staggering 5.3 million kilograms of decomposing trash and plastic from the 2.5 kilometer stretch of beach over a period of 21 months."

The right picture is taken at ground level and zoomed in on the city in the background to make the trash pile look larger. In the picture on the right the city in the background is the same city.
