This program investigates where the sand on a beach comes from, how it is transported along the coast and where it goes. Explores consequences of man's efforts to control the shape of the coast by interfering with the movement of sand to and from the shore. Presents an analysis of currents produced by waves and calculations of the accumulation and depletion of sand. Shows the most pronounced movement of sand to be along the shore, actually making the beach a river of sand.
