A beach is an accumulation of unconsolidated sediment that extends from low tide to a change in topography or to where permanent vegetation begins. A spit is an elongated deposit of sediment that extends from the coast into the water, while a tombolo is a sandbar that connects an offshore island to the mainland. A barrier island is a type of coastal landform that is separated from the mainland by a lagoon or other body of water. A baymouth bar is a sand or gravel bar that extends across the mouth of a bay, forming a barrier between the bay and open ocean.
