Sandy shores or beaches are loose deposits of sand, gravel or shells that cover the shoreline in many places. They make up two-thirds of the world's ice-free coastlines.Beaches serve as buffer zones or shock absorbers that protect the coastline, seacliffs or dunes from direct wave attack.Sep 25, 2013
