In an Ideal Beach World...

"Sand would flow freely to form surf breaks and beaches, and not be captured by dams, blocked by groins, or walled up behind seawalls and riprap. People would live far enough away from the shoreline that beach erosion would not be a problem. Beaches would be where and what they were naturally meant to be. As a result, we would not need to rely on beach fill and we would not need shoreline structures." - excerpt from the Beach Manifesto section of Surfrider Foundation's STATE OF THE BEACH 2006 report.
