From Stanley (1969). goonal shoreline approximates the intersection of still water level with the dissected subaerial surface under- going erosion. An outer, oceanic shoreline of barrier spits and islands results from (1) the detachment of drift-nourished, wave-maintained beaches from the main- land as the rising sea floods the swales behind them, and (2) the lateral propagation of the shoreface from head- lands across the mouths of adjoining bays. Sand is also stored in shoals that form at littoral drift convergences, and in oblique-tending, shoreface-connected sand ridges that form at the foot of the shoreface in response to the storm wave regime and storm coastal currents. Where the littoral drift system intersects with the river- and tide- driven jets of river mouths and inlets, sand is stored in arcuate, seaward-convex shoals whose crests bear com- plex patterns of interdigitating ebb and flood channels, separated by sand ridges that build into the intertidal zone as swash platforms. 520.
