                            A wave- and/or tide-generated movement of shallow-water coastal sediments parallel to the shoreline.
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            The process by which sediments move along a beach shore by the action of winds and waves hitting the shoreline at an angle; also called shore drift or littoral drift.
