A beach typically refers to a strip of land along the edge of a body of water, such as an ocean, sea, lake, or river. It is often characterized by sandy or pebbly terrain and may also feature dunes, cliffs, or rocky outcroppings. Beaches are popular recreational areas and can be used for activities such as swimming, sunbathing, beachcombing, surfing, fishing, and boating. Some beaches are also home to unique ecosystems and wildlife, including sea turtles, birds, and marine mammals.
