Beaches.
   | Who don't love beaches? A beach is the sandy, pebbly, or rocky shore of a body of water. Beach types vary widely, especially depending on where they are. When most of us think of a beach, we picture sandy ocean beaches with waves crashing, wind blowing, and seagulls flying overhead. But beaches in the United States are also found in urban areas, on estuaries and lagoons, and on lakes and rivers. Beaches provide many recreational opportunities for millions of people. Boating, fishing, swimming, walking, beachcombing, bird-watching, and sunbathing are among the common activities beachgoers enjoy. Beaches also provide some protection to residents living near the ocean by acting as a buffer against the high winds and waves of powerful storms or rough seas. A beach is also a sensitive environment that supports a variety of plants and animals. |
