Beaches are stretches of sand, pebbles, or shells along the edge of an ocean, sea, or lake where land meets water. They have shaped human life for centuries, serving as places for fishing, trade, recreation, and rest. Some, like Pink Sands Beach in the Bahamas, even owe their unusual pink color to tiny crushed coral mixed into the sand.
