You'll have an axe as part of your starting equipment. To equip it open your inventory with the I key, hover over the axe, and left-click to equip it. Now, you can venture into the forest and cut down some trees for logs.
The beach is also a great area to pick up initial supplies like medicine, duct tape, and other items from the red cases washed up on the beach.
