Foreshore

a strip of low-lying shore along tidal seas in a tidal-flat zone. A foreshore forms through the accumulation of fine-sand and silt alluviums that result from differences in the speed and duration of the tides. It gradually grows in width and height until it becomes a surface that is flooded only during high spring tides. Foreshores occur on the shallow margins of tideless seas (such as the Caspian and Aral) as the result of wind-driven waves.
