Excerpt

The continuous changes taking place in the coastal zone constitute beach processes. A beach is one part of the coastal zone, which is the transitional area between terrestrial and marine environments. The coastal zone comprises the beach; an underwater region that extends seaward to the depth where waves no longer effect the sea bottom; and inland to features such as sea cliffs, dune fields, and estuaries (q.v.). Beach studies focus on understanding spatial and temporal changes in alongshore and cross-shore geomorphic features of the beach (Beach Features: q.v.) and in the size and composition of beach sediment. Over time, the coastal zone changes in character in response to changes in wave climate and other physical processes. …
