To give the ground a color or texture. Assign a color or textmap in the material window. JV :D

Checking "Ground Shadow" won't make the render have a shadow, it's generally only used in Preview mode. If you want to cast shadows on the ground, select the Ground Plane and uncheck "Cast Shadows". Trust me on this. It's how it works.

Thanks for this question, my beach picture I did wouldn't render shadows either, but they were great before the render, never thought to ask, just thought it was me and my settings lol. I ended up adding them in post work with psp. Thanks for the tips!
