Beach
A beach, or strand, is a geological landform consisting of loose rock particles - such as sandgravelshinglepebblescobble - or even shell fragments, along the shoreline of a body of water. Beaches occur along coastal areas, where wave or current action deposits and reworks sediments, or at the margin of land along a lake or river subject to erosion caused by rainfall.
