What does BEACH mean in Scrabble?
noun
A stretch of sand, shingle or pebbles along the edge of the sea or a lake.
Beach refers to the flat, loose-surfaced land that sits between the water and firmer ground, shaped continuously by waves, tides and currents rather than being fixed in place. Sand beaches form where waves grind rock and shell into fine particles, while shingle or pebble beaches form where the waves leave behind coarser stone instead. Beyond the physical landform, beach is also used as a verb, meaning to bring a boat or a sea creature onto the shore, as when a whale becomes beached. The word is central to everyday talk about holidays and leisure, since a good beach is one of the main reasons people travel to the coast.
How BEACH is used
An everyday word for the coastal landform, and also used as a verb meaning to bring ashore, as in a beached whale.
