Hmm... The shape is interesting.

Had you not found them on the beach, you might be describing the infamous Gelatinous Cube more commonly found in the dungeons of ninth graders.

You might have also ran into some really, really small Cthulu.

Or it could be related to this, seen here in its natural environment.

How big were these things? Were they moving on their own or just with the waves? And I assume this was in Alabama.

It was on the Florida coast (Gulf of Mexico), they were about the size of a quarter.
