A collection of deposited material. These can be found on the coast as well as on the inside bend of a river where the water is moving slowest. The material on a beach is often sorted or graded from large to small. river coast transportation deposition
A deposit of non-cohesive mobile material (e.g. sand, gravel) situated on the interface between dry land and the sea (or other expanses of water).
the sandy or pebbly part of the shore of an ocean, sea, or lake that is washed by the tide and waves. This is where the land meets the water.
thick, wedge-shaped accumulation of sand, gravel, or cobbles in the zone of breaking waves
unconsolidated intertidal material.
Also known as a bunker. A beach is a sand hazard.
A sand hazard on the course.
The part of a coast that is washed by waves or tides, which cover it with sediments of various sizes and composition, such as sand or pebbles.
an area of sand sloping down to the water of a sea or lake
a collection of unconsolidated material deposited against the coastline by waves
a dynamic zone where the sand is in constant motion, sensitive to variations in waves, winds, tides, currents and human intervention
a gently sloping zone where deposits of unconsolidated sediments are subject to wave action at the shore of an ocean or lake
an accumulation of sand particles flowing down currents along the coast of continents
a nearly level stretch of pebbles and sand beside a sea, lake, etc
an expanse of sand or pebbles along a seashore, that is washed by the tide and waves
a nice place to walk along, letting your mind coast
an ideal fitness-walking environment of water, sand and waves
a really nice place to live
a sandy area used for recreation
a section of the seashore where unconsolidated sediment, or grains of worn-down rock, has collected
a small section of the coast
an accumulation of loose sediment (usually sand or gravel) along the coast.
Naval 'On the Beach' Naval slang expression normally, and originally, meaning retired from the Service, but of recent years sometimes used to describe an appointment to a shore establishment.
The shore or any access point to the sea, a freshwater lake or river used for recreational purposes.
a zone of loose material extending from the low water mark to a point landward where either the topography abruptly changes or permanent vegetation first appears. Beaches may be composed of clay, silt, sand, gravel, cobbles, boulders, coral pieces or any combination of these.
Zone of unconsolidated material that extends landward from the low water line to the place where there is marked change in material or physiographic form, or to the line of permanent vegetation (usually the effective lint of storm waves).
area of buildup of coastal sediments (in Australia a beach is most commonly regarded as being composed of sand)
Wave-washed sediment along a coast, including sediment in the surf zone that is in constant motion.
A zone of unconsolidated material that is in alongshore or onshore- offshore active transport.
Gently sloping areas of loose material (e.g., sand, gravel, and cobbles) that extend landward from the low-water line to a point where there is a definite change in the material type or landform, or to the line of vegetation.
The sloping shore along a body of water that is periodically washed by waves or tides and is usually covered with sand or gravel.
(21XX) - A beach is generally made up of sand, cobbles, or boulders and is defined as the portion of the coastal area that is directly affected by wave action and that is terminated inland by a sea cliff, a dune field, or the presence of permanent vegetation and seaward at the breaker/plunge point (the active portion of this zone varies based on wave and tide conditions).
The area of sand between the sea and the land exposed between high and low tides.
The terrestrial interface area in between land and a water body where there are accumulations of unconsolidated sediments like sand and gravel. These deposits are laid down by the action of breaking waves.
Zone of sand extending from the high water line to a point landward where either the topography abruptly changes or permanent vegetation first appears, such as a dune line or structures like buildings, roads, etc.
A beach, or strand, is a geological formation consisting of loose rock particles such as sand, gravel, shingle, pebbles, cobble, or even shell along the shoreline of a body of water.
