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, sea cliffs or [[Sand dunes in Europe|dunes]] from direct wave attack. It is an extremely '''dynamic''' environment where sand, water and air are always in motion.  Beaches also provide important coastal recreational areas for a many people. Fine-grained sand beaches tend to be '''quite flat'''.
