Beach
A beach is a sandy or pebbly area along a shoreline where land meets the sea, often enjoyed for swimming, sunbathing, and relaxation.
Overview
A beach is a landform along the shoreline of an ocean, sea, lake, or river. It consists of loose particles like sand, gravel, pebbles, or cobblestones. Beaches are shaped by natural processes such as wave action, tides, and currents. They serve as recreational areas for activities like swimming, sunbathing, and beach sports. Beaches also play important ecological roles, providing habitat for various species and acting as natural barriers that protect inland areas from storm surges and erosion.
