You've just defined the word "beach."
Much of the coarser sediment material supplied by rivers settles out near shorelines or on beaches.

Before a rock layer can be deposited, the area must undergo erosion and weathering. This breaks down existing rocks into sediment which can then be transported and deposited in a new location. The process of deposition occurs when the sediment settles into a new location and forms a layer over time.
When sediment is deposited, it creates new fertile soil for plants to grow. This can lead to the growth of pioneer plant species, which are typically the first plants to establish and colonize the area. Over time, as the soil continues to develop, more diverse plants may start to grow in the area.
The area between the shoreline and the continental slope is known as the continental shelf. It is a relatively shallow, flat or gently sloping underwater landmass that extends from the shoreline to the beginning of the continental slope. The continental shelf is an important zone for marine life and for human activities such as fishing, oil and gas exploration, and shipping.
No, an alluvial fan forms when sediment is deposited at the base of a mountain or hill as a river flows out onto a flatter area, such as a valley or plain. This typically occurs when the river loses energy and slows down, causing it to drop its sediment load. While sediment can also be deposited where a river meets an ocean, this process typically creates a delta rather than an alluvial fan.
A beach is an area of wave-washed sediment along a coast. It typically consists of sand or pebbles that have been deposited by the action of waves and currents. Beaches are dynamic environments that can change in response to storms, tides, and other factors.
The area of Point Isabel Regional Shoreline is 93,077.6977152 square meters.
A coastal plain is an area of low land along the coast that is formed by sediment deposition from rivers and oceans. These plains are typically flat or gently sloping and can stretch for miles along the shoreline.
The process by which erosion lays down sediment in a new location is called deposition. This occurs when sediment is carried away by agents of erosion, such as water or wind, and is then deposited in a different area due to a decrease in energy of the transporting agent.
