A beach is a geological landform along the shoreline of an ocean, sea or lake.
It usually consists of loose particles which are often composed of rock, such as sand, gravel, shingle, pebbles, waves or cobblestones.
The particles of which the beach is composed can sometimes instead have biological origins, such as shell fragments or coralline algae fragments.
In the Victorian era, many popular beach resorts were equipped with bathing machines because even the all-covering beachwear of the period was considered immodest.
Beach tokens, a form of season pass admission ticket, may be required for entrance, for people and even pets.
They are made of metal etc. durable material, to enable them to withstand swimming, so the bearer can just carry them around his neck or on his swimsuit.
IENCE is Investment to Enhance the Natural Capacity of the Environment and includes things like beach nourishment of natural beaches to enhance recreational enjoyment and snow machines that extend ski seasons for areas with an existing snow economy developed upon a natural snowy mountain.
As the name implies IENCE is not quite mainstream natural science as its goal is to artificially invest into an environment's capacity to support anthropogenic economic activity.
Ocean beaches are habitats with organisms adapted to salt spray, tidal overwash, and shifting sands.
