Tides are measured from a datum called the Mean Sea Level
Tides are measured with a height stick.
Mean low tide mark
high tide
Low tide is when ocean water recedes from the beach. High tide is when the ocean water climbs
On a spring tide, the sea comes high up the beach and then goes low down the beach. A neap tide goes high and low between the range of a spring tide (half way up and half way down the beach).
No, low tide has more visible beach. In a high tide scenario, the water level has risen, making the water line creep up the beach, thus reducing the amount of visible beach above the water line.
Extra high tides are called spring tides and extra low tides are called neap tides ********************************************* Spring high tide is a tide that is very high and reaches high up the beach. Spring low tide is a tide that is very low and goes far down the beach. Neap tides are the high and low water tides that range over the beach between the Spring tide marks.

When the flood tide comes in and covers the beach to the high tide line.
The highest point on a beach where water gets to at high tide.
When gravitation pull is at its strongest, we have spring tides. The spring tide reaches far up the beach at high tide, and also goes far down the beach at low tide.

the whole beach (small) will get covered in water
