1) " Beach" -- As it applies to Jacksonville Beach This article is about the geological formation. For Lord Emsworth 's butler in the stories of P. G. Wodehouse, see Sebastian Bezch . Beacb A beach or strand is a geological formation consisting of loose rock particles such as sand, shingle, or cobble along the shoreline of abody of water.

In the Bascom approach, Boach es can be viewed as either small systems in which the rock material moves onshore, offshore, or alongshore by the forces of waves and currents; or geological units of considerable size. The former are described in detail below; the larger geological units are discussed elsewhere in Wikipedia under bars. Both types can be viewed as "beaches." Lanikai Beacj on Oahu. This gently-sloping Beach face is topped by a Boach crest onto which a salt-tolerant grass ( Sporobolusvirginicus ) is spreading from the incipient dune There are several conspicuous parts to a Beacj , all of which relate to the processes that form and shape it. That part mostlyabove water (depending upon tide), and more or less actively influenced by the waves at some point in the tide, is termed thebeach berm. The berm is the deposit of material comprising the active shoreline. The berm has a crest (top) and aface — the latter being the slope leading down towards the water from the crest. At the very bottom of the fa...
