A sandy shore is where rock has been ground into fine grains and deposited by the wind and sea. Usually a sandy shore is level, with extensive areas of drying out sand at low water. A rocky shore is where rocks (often rounded by wave action) are deposited either from an underwater source out to sea, or from rock near the surface, or the breaking (weathering) of rock from a nearby cliff.
