Coastal depositional processes are primarily controlled by the movement of sediments along the shore, driven by waves, tides, and currents. Sediment transport occurs through mechanisms such as longshore drift, where waves approach the shore at an angle, moving sand and other materials laterally along the coastline. Constructive waves play a major role in deposition, as their swash is stronger than their backwash, allowing sediments to accumulate on the shore. Tides and tidal currents further redistribute sediments, particularly in estuarine regions and tidal flats, creating dynamic environments for deposition. Fluvial inputs from rivers also contribute significant amounts of sediment, which are then reworked by coastal processes. The size, type, and availability of sediment, along with wave energy, are key factors influencing the formation of depositional landforms. One of the most common coastal depositional landforms is the beach,
