A beach is a landform
along the shoreline of an ocean, sea, lake, or river. Higher energy waves
breaking in quick succession tend to mobilise sediment from the shallows,
keeping it in suspension where it is prone to be carried along the beach by
longshore currents, or carried out to sea to form longshore bars, especially if
the longshore current meets an outflow from a river or flooding stream. Source
