Beaches are a landform that are created by weathering and erosion. Wind, waves, and water work together producing sediment, which is deposited along the water\u2019s edge. Materials that compose the beach are a mixture of shells, sand, pebbles, and other materials.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Beaches are a strip of land next to different waterways. They can be found on lakes, rivers, seas, and the ocean. The shape of the beach is caused by the waves. Beaches continually change because of tides, weather, and man-made events. In different seasons, beaches alter their shapes due to storm tides.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In addition to being a landform, beaches provide a way of life and attitude toward life. The combination of fresh air, energy from the waves, and the relaxation of walking barefoot in the sand join to affect a carefree lifestyle. A plethora of activities abounds at and on the beach.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_the_National_Seashore\"><\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What Is the National Seashore?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The National Park Service has ten different locations that have been designed as part of the national seashore.
