A strand plain or strandplain is a broad belt of sand along a shoreline with a surface exhibiting well-defined parallel or semi-parallel sand ridges separated by shallow swales. A strandplain differs from a barrier island in that it lacks either the lagoons or tidales marsh that separate a barrier island from the shoreline to which the strandplain is directly attached. Also, the tidal channels and inlets, which cut through barrier islands, are absent. Strand plains typically are created by the redistribution by waves and longshore currents of coarse sediment on either side of a river mouth. Thus, they are part of one type of wave-dominated delta.[1][2]
