sandy beaches

Sandy beaches are coastal areas where fine particles of rock and minerals, called sand, accumulate along the shore. These beaches form through the gradual erosion of rocks inland, with the resulting sand transported by waves, currents, and wind. They create a smooth, gentle slope from the land to the ocean, providing habitats for diverse wildlife and recreational space for humans. The color and texture of sand can vary depending on local geology. Sandy beaches are dynamic environments that change with tides, storms, and seasonal shifts, offering both ecological importance and scenic beauty.
