Top 12 Longest Beaches In The World

image credit: Arthur Chapman cc

Beaches are the result of wave action by which waves or currents move sand or other loose sediments of which the beach is made as these particles are held in suspension. The shape of a beach depends on whether the waves are constructive or destructive, and whether the material is sand or shingle.

Several beaches are claimed to be the 'world's longest' and here are 12 of them.

I'm from Cape Town, and I can categorically state that the 2 local beaches they mention have the wrong images and wrong data which thrown the accuracy of this whole thing into question.
