Answer 1

The best place to look for a sandy beach in a meandering river for swimming is typically on the inside bend of the meander where a point bar has formed. Point bars are depositional features that form on the inside bend of a meander where the water slows down and sediment is deposited, often creating a shallow area with a sandy beach. In contrast, the outside bend of the meander typically has a faster flow and deeper water, making it less likely to have a sandy beach. A cut bank, which is an erosional feature on the outside bend of the meander, is also less likely to have a sandy beach for swimming.
