Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Barrier beaches are long and narrow depositional features of sand that form offshore, roughly parallel to the coast. They are separated from the mainland by a lagoon, marsh, or wetland and protect the coast from the open sea. Tombolos are narrow sandbars that join an offshore island to the mainland, baymouth bars are sandbars that form at the entrance to a bay or estuary, and groins are structures built perpendicular to the shore to prevent beach erosion.
