A beach is a landform along the coast of an ocean, sea, lake, or river, consisting of loose particles, such as sand or pebbles. Beaches are created by the action of waves and currents, which deposit sediment along the shoreline. Beaches can also be formed by the erosion of cliffs or the accumulation of sediment in the shallows.
