Beaches - Natural Landforms

Beaches are natural landforms that are created by the constant battering of the ocean, wind and natural geologic and meteorological conditions responsible for the wearing down of rock and other materials.  There are thousands upon thousands of beaches around the world and millions and billions of grains of sand. Beaches are one of the favorite human attractions and destinations people like to visit and to live on.  Beaches are seldom permanent in their structural characteristics as the constant changes in weather can create changes in the shape and form of the beaches. Below is a list of beach resources for the best beaches in California.  There are beach safety tips, beach resources and research pages, beach photos and many fine points guests ask most about the beach and beaches. Enjoy the beach and remember to become a steward for its care. In California and elsewhere, it's best not to take glass objects to the beach. Plastic is one of the top items found during beach clean-up efforts so leave the plastic at home or throw it away carefully. Natural dangers can include sleeper waves, found often in Northern California, jellyfish stings that are a nuisance and many additional hazards. Use caution at the beach but do enjoy its beautiful sands.
