Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The coast extends inland from the high tide level to the first major landform change, which could be a cliff, a hill, or a change in vegetation. The foreshore dune, backshore dune, and trough between the primary and secondary dune are all features found on the beach, within the coastal zone but not necessarily marking the extent of the coast itself. The highest water line that occurs during a storm is also a feature of the beach, not the coast as a whole.
