Perhaps one of the most used and enjoyed natural spaces by human beings, the beach is considered a geographical accident that always takes place in immediate continuation with a body of water, establishing itself as a limit to it. Beaches are unstable as they vary in size according to the constant movement of water, and this is especially clear in beaches formed by the sea or ocean that, unlike the waters of lakes or lagoons, are in permanent movement.
In general terms, it could be said that a beach is formed through the action of water. It moves and transports different types of sediments that are being placed in the place, thus forming areas of less water and greater land space. These sediments, however, are not permanent and that is why, depending on the tide, the size or extent of a beach can vary completely. In any case, the change is never total since the contribution of sediments is permanent and a whole stable surface is formed on which different activities can be carried out.
The beach is, without a doubt, a habitat for many aquatic species that can live both in aquatic and terrestrial spaces. At the same time, in many cases the beaches have an important vegetation all around them, which always has to do with the climate and the type of temperature that occurs in each specific region. Obviously, this is the case when we are not talking about the intervention of the human being.
As for a place of recreation, the beach is currently one of the most popular options for tourism since it allows us to come into contact with the sea or the appropriate water course, carry out activities of relaxation and rest and be exposed to the open air. A large number of beaches around the world are some of the most important and visited tourist destinations, growing more and more and offering the public an incredible variety of options to enjoy the experience. In many cases, some specialists in the tourist activity have been able to take advantage of the commercial benefits that a beach provides and as a consequence of this situation, artificial beaches have been created that have little or nothing to do with nature but are definitely a tourist attraction. plus.
The presence of the human being undoubtedly makes the natural space of the beach change profoundly. This not only has to do with pollution, but also with the erosion and alteration that can be generated by having large numbers of people on the move. As a consequence of this, many beach areas have completely changed their natural structure and have become unsuitable for human presence.
