Picture
A beach is a thin strip of land made up of loose rocks such as sand, pebbles and gravel. 
Beaches have four parts:
* The swash, which is constantly covered by waves and then uncovered again.
* The beach face, which slopes down towards the water.
* The wrack line, which is where sea weed is usually deposited at high tide.
* The berm, which is the top part of the beach; it is only covered by water during very high tides.
