Synonyms of "Gleam" and their differences
Q:
В чем разница между gleam и glitter и glimmer и glow ?
A:
Glitter gives the impression that something is shining because it's catching and reflecting the light. The light will change, appear and disappear depending on how it's hitting the glittering object. Think a glittery make-up or a dress with sequins
Gleam and glimmer are relatively similar, but to me they sound... less shiny than glitter? It makes me think of water reflecting light rather than sequins. A more subtle light.
Glow is completely different; if an object glows, it means it's emitting a soft light by itself, not reflecting it. Think glow-in-the-dark stars, or a nightlight for child who's scared of the dark. It's still a soft light.

Q:
What does "gleams" really mean in Western culture?
A:
In English there is a connotation between smiling and the sun's reflection.
It is because of the thought that someone's teeth could be so white and healthy that they "shine," "glimmer," "shimmer," "beam," or in this case, "gleam," when the person smiles while the sun is shining on their face.
In the sentence you provided, the sound of the waves is compared to the sound of laughter, the rise and fall of the waves is compared to someone's movement while laughing, and the light reflecting off of the sand is compared to the light that reflects off of a smile.
Also notice how the beach is "pale" like healthy teeth.
This sentence is very poetic, and it talks about the sea and the beach as if it were a very playful and friendly person.
You most likely aren't going to find a lot of people who speak so poetically, however there are often times where this association is used to infer a smile without directly mentioning it:
"Jack beamed when he heard the compliment."
