Long, narrow depositional features of sand that form offshore roughly parallel to the coast are called barrier beaches. Tombolos are depositional features that connect an island to the mainland, a baymouth bar is a sand bar that completely blocks the entrance to a bay or lagoon, groins are structures built perpendicular to the beach to trap sand, and tidal inlets are narrow channels that connect bays, lagoons, or estuaries to the ocean.
