What would all occur on a shoreline with barrier islands?
A barrier island is just what it sounds like, a barrier that protects the mainland from storm surges, beach erosion, and other tidal forces. Usually a barrier island has the classic "beach" with sand, dunes, and wave action. An intracoastal body of water then separates the barrier island from the mainland, where there is usually only a minimal beach and very calm waves. The state of Florida has many coastal areas which feature barrier islands. The cities of Daytona Beach, Miami Beach, Sanibel Island, Clearwater Beach are all built on barrier islands. They are attractive because of their natural beauty and proximity to the ocean, but are dangerous places to be during severe weather such as tropical storms and hurricanes.
