Beach compartment

Simplified coastal map-style diagram of a beach compartment as a discrete bounded shoreline segment. Show a curved to crescent-shaped tan sandy beach enclosed between rocky headlands or barriers at both ends, forming a pocket-like coastal unit against blue water and land. Include adjacent sediment system elements: a river entering near one end as a sediment source and a narrow offshore submarine canyon or sink zone near the other end. The overall form should emphasize a compact coastal sediment cell with beach sand contained within the headlands and sediment pathways implied by the enclosed geometry.
