A beach is a coastal landform consisting of a stretch of sand, pebbles, or rocks along the shoreline, where land meets the sea or another body of water.
Beaches are dynamic environments shaped by the action of waves, tides, and currents. They vary widely in size, shape, and composition, ranging from long, sandy shores to rocky coves.
Beaches serve as popular recreational destinations for activities such as swimming, sunbathing, and beachcombing. They also provide habitats for diverse marine life and are important ecosystems for coastal communities.
