A beach is a landform along the shoreline of an ocean, sea, lake, or river. It usually consists of loose particles, which are often composed of rock, such as sand, gravel, shingle, pebbles, or cobblestones. The particles comprising the beach are occasionally biological in origin, such as mollusc shells or coralline algae. They are beaches that do not have lifeguards or trappings of modernity nearby, such as resorts, camps, and hotels. They are sometimes called undeclared, undeveloped, or undiscovered beaches. Wild beaches can be valued for their untouched beauty and preserved nature. They are most commonly found for example in parts of Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia. Also found in parts of Australia and New Zealand as well.
Beaches typically occur in areas along the coast where wave or current action deposits and reworks sediments.
