A beach is a landform along a body of water. It usually
consists of loose particles, which are often composed of rock, such as sand,
gravel, shingle, pebbles, or cobblestones. The particles comprising a beach are
occasionally biological in origin, such as mollusc shells or coralline algae.
Some beaches have man-made infrastructure, such as
lifeguard posts, changing rooms, and showers. They may also have hospitality
venues (such as resorts, camps, hotels, and restaurants) nearby. Wild beaches,
also known as undeveloped or undiscovered beaches, are not developed in this
manner. Wild beaches can be valued for their untouched beauty and preserved
nature.
Beaches typically occur in areas along the coast where
wave or current action deposits and reworks sediments.
