High energy beaches are characterised by turbulent motions, created by waves, currents or surf. Heavy/ dense sediment such as pebbles, cobbles and coarse sand accumulates in these areas.
Ancient high energy beaches that have dried up may contain lithified rocks such as conglomerate and coarse sandstones.

When the water is closest to the beach, it is high tide. High tide is when the water level is at its peak, covering more of the beach area. Low tide is when the water level is at its lowest, exposing more of the beach.
High ocean waves can significantly impact a beach by causing erosion, which removes sand and sediment from the shoreline. This erosion can lead to the loss of beach area and affect coastal habitats. Additionally, strong waves can reshape the beach profile, altering features like sandbars and dunes. The increased wave energy can also affect human structures and activities along the coast.
