Longshore drift from longshore current is a geological process that consists of the transportation of sediments (clay, silt, pebbles, sand, shingle, shells)...

accretion of sand in the lee of the island, where wave energy and longshore drift are reduced and therefore deposition of sand occurs. True tombolos...
