    A l'oració: La dona s'en va a la platja ara.

    El pronom feble se va en forma plena, i el pronom feble en té la elisió.

    L'oració queda per tant:

    La dona se'n va a la platja ara

    També és incorrecte l'oració de la nena, que quedaria també:

    La nena no se'n va encara.

    Regla pràctica: Tenint en compte que l'apòstrof marca l'elisió d'una vocal, cal escriure'l tan a  la dreta com sigui possible.

    very good.

    anyway catalan prefer aprostrophation the most to the right the better: so "se'n" "me'n" "te'n", etc  is more adequate. The weak pronoun "hi" dont follow this rule. "S'hi", "n'hi", etc.

    Weak pronouns use in catalan is one of the hardest points for non natives. But you are lucky to know french and the use in french and catalan are similar a great deal.

    although it is not the subject here, i see here one good example to writte.

    look at the phrase:

    "la dona se'n va a la platja ara".

    when both speakers are sure of the place the woman is going one could say:

    "la dona se n'hi va ara".

    anyway, a bit of extra info.
