Antalya, city in southwestern Turkey, capital of Antalya province, located on the Gulf of Antalya. The city is the largest urban area on Turkey’s central Mediterranean coast. Tourists are attracted to Antalya’s beaches and nearby ancient Greek ruins. In addition to tourism, light industry is important, as is agriculture—particularly the growing of citrus fruits. The city’s busy port has direct connections for trade with Crete (Kríti), Cyprus, and Egypt. Antalya’s airport is the busiest on the Turkish Mediterranean, with direct flights to many European cities. Roads connect Antalya with nearby towns and with larger cities over the rugged Taurus Mountains to the north.
Sediments that accumulate along the sea or lake shores, the configuration and contours of which depend on the action of coastal processes, the kinds of sediment involved, and the rate of delivery of this sediment. There are three different kinds of beaches. The first occurs as a sediment strip bordering a rocky or cliffy coast; the second is the outer margin of a plain of marine or fluvial accumulation (free beaches); and the third, of fairly peculiar character, consists of the narrow sediment barriers stretching for dozens or even hundreds of kilometres parallel to the general direction of the coast. These barriers separate lagoons from the open sea and generally are dissected by some tidal inlets. Certain sediment forelands, such as spits, points, and tombolos (which connect an island with a mainland), also occasionally are called beaches.
Beach, gently sloping strip of land bordering an ocean or other body of water. Beaches form by the action of rivers, waves, currents, tides, and wind, and they are usually covered with sand or gravel
Some of the world’s major recreational beaches are barrier beaches, which are formed when the action of waves and currents is not strong enough to wash sand fully to the shore. The sand is instead deposited in the water near the shore, forming a sandbar. The bar may grow outward until strong waves pile the sand high enough that it rises above water level, forming a barrier beach. Barrier beaches are generally elongated islands, but the beach may be joined to the mainland as sand and silt accumulates in the water between the two land areas. Well-known barrier beaches include those at Miami Beach, Florida; Atlantic City, New Jersey; and Coney Island in New York City.
Other famous recreational beaches are located at Acapulco on the western coast of Mexico, at Cannes on the Mediterranean coast of France, and at Sydney on the southeastern coast of Australia. Beaches along the islands of Hawaii in the United States have helped generate a large tourist industry in that state. Pictures of beaches beaches restaurant, beaches soundtrack sandals
