From having had a single beach plum that bloomed long after other plums, and never set one fruit, I'd say that you probably need 2 varieties to get fruit.  
On plum curculio.  Beach plum seems to be able to resist it by sealing up the egg in pitch as soon as it's laid, preventing it from hatching.

Beach plum seem somewhat resistant to curculio. Pollination needs are not clear. I could send you some scionwood if you like.
