Mostly a beach consists of sand, sometimes pebbles or shells. Some beaches consist of volcanic sand and are black in color. A beach has little or no vegetation, although on quiet beaches, such as on the island of Schiermonnikoog and near Nieuwvliet in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen some salt-loving plants do grow locally, and some marram grass. Sometimes any dunes are included in the beach. A coastal strip consisting of more solid material, such as rocks, or overgrown is often called shoreline.
A beach along a sea or ocean is (partially) submerged when the tide is out. Usually much of the beach remains dry, but in exceptional circumstances (spring tide, onshore wind) the entire beach may flood. So the upper limit of the beach (where the vegetation begins) also indicates how far the water can reach.
On a beach along a sea or ocean, one generally finds seaweed, shells and jellyfish. Many things also wash ashore, such as wreckage, trash, things that have fallen off ships. Beachcombers are looking for valuable things found on the beach. In the Middle Ages, beach law existed: the right of the lord or local people to anything washed up on the beach. The custom in most Western countries is that whatever washes ashore remains the property of the rightful owner (usually the landlord).
                                
 
                                
                                        My name is Anne.
I regularly go out with my camera. I do so with great pleasure and always find gifts appearing on my screen.
