A beach, or strand, is a geological landform consisting of loose rock particles such as sand, gravel, shingle, pebbles, cobble, or even shell fragments along the shoreline of a body of water. They occur along coastal areas where wave or current action deposit and rework sediments, or a stretch of land residing along a lake or river subject to erosion caused by rain fall.

An island or isle is any piece of land that is completely surrounded by water, above high tide, and isolated from other significant landmasses.
