Answer 1

Wikipedia has a nice discussion of wave-cut platforms http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_cut_pl...

If you happened to watch the US Open golf tournament which just ended yesterday, you may have seen some wave-cut platforms on the beach below the cliffs where the golf course is.

There are also nice discussions of spits: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spit_(landf...

bars:
