Here is an article on creating a shortcode to list post titles.

You can adapt it to list one category by altering the $sql variable. The value should be like this:

$cat_name = "Beaches";
$sql = "SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS ID, p.post_title
   FROM $wpdb->posts p
   JOIN $wpdb->term_relationships tr ON ( p.ID = tr.object_id )
   JOIN $wpdb->term_taxonomy tt ON ( tr.term_taxonomy_id = tt.term_taxonomy_id )
   JOIN $wpdb->terms t ON ( tt.term_id = t.term_id )
   WHERE p.post_type = 'post'
      AND p.post_status = 'publish'
      AND tt.taxonomy = 'category'
      AND t.name = '$cat_name'
   LIMIT $offset,$posts_per_page";

Then, just use the shortcode on a Page.
