Barrier islands, built of beaches and dunes, are typical of the United States east coast and are dynamic systems that have seen much human disturbance. This account of human impacts on them over more than 100 years is taken from Nordstrom (1994, 2000) and is depicted in Figure 15.7. Sign...
Barrier beaches are formedwhere spits are joined to the mainland at both ends, trapping water behind in a lagoon; an example of this can be seen at Slapton in Devon. Tombolos are found where barrier beaches form a bridge between an island and the mainland; an example of this is Chesil ...

Tybee’s beaches are also “armored” with rip-rap and seawalls, which were placed there in a vain attempt to keep sand from moving. (On a barrier island, this is like telling blood it can only circulate to one part of a body.) Moreover, its modest coastal dunes rely on fencing as...
Wind and waves collect sand and sediment from beaches, the sea floor, river deltas and estuaries, and build up barrier islands. One theory suggests barrier islands begin as spits of land which are later cut off. Another theory suggests waves form sand bars, eventually breaking the surface. ...
Coastal barriers are among the most dynamic landforms on Earth and the sites of some of the most beautiful beaches. These coastal accumulation forms are constructed by the combined action of waves, tides, and longshore currents as thin strips of land that build above sea level. They generally ...
