Wave and tidal actions transport sand, pebbles, sea shells and gravel to the shorelines of oceans seas and lakes. The sand, pebbles, and gravels were either transported by erosion from the continental landmass by rivers and streams, or created by the mechanical weathering of wave actions against rock formations near the shore. Wind and storms can deposit the rock and shell particles further inland, creating a gently sloped beach.
Rock is smashed against a cliff and they are ground up into sand and a beach is formed.
Wave and tidal actions, along with land-based winds, transport sand, pebbles, sea shells and gravel to the shorelines of oceans, seas, and lakes. The sand, pebbles, and gravels were either transported by ocean currents or wind from the landmass and the deposits slowly build up to form what we call "the beach" or "shore".

What gives a rock its texture?
The texture of a rock depends on the minerals and/or fossils it contains, as well as the processes the components of the rock went through when it was form. For example, a pumice rock (the one that has a lot of holes) has its texture because the magma that form it lost a lot gas, and while the gas escaped the holes started to form. On the other side, some sedimentary rocks have a lot fossils which gives them their specific texture as well as sedimentary rocks can have ripples which means the sediments that constitute that rock were joint together in a beache where waves were moving constantly. The shape of these waves can tell geologists the direction of the current when the rock was formed.
