About Beach

A beach is not a fixed place. Twice a day the tide pulls the water line back and pushes it up again, moving the wet sand by yards. Behind the dry sand, dunes rise where wind piles grains against beach grass, and those roots hold the whole ridge in place against storms. Sandpipers chase the retreating foam for tiny crustaceans, crabs sidestep into burrows, and the shells you pocket are the abandoned armor of animals that lived offshore.

A good pick for a summer classroom hour, a rainy day at a rental cottage, or the drive down to the shore.
