A similarity exists between the coastal areas of South Western Australia and South Sardinia (Italy-Western\udMediterranean Sea), as temperate water carbonate sedimentation dominates the inner shelf at these locations. The\udseagrass carbonate factory regulates the deposition of modern bioclasts, and the distribution of seagrass meadows and\udaccumulation of bioclasts is controlled by similar processes at the study sites. These biogenic components are mixed\udto quartz-feldspar sands producing significantly comparable sediment facies, which have been previously\uddocumented for Esperance Bay (South Western Australia) and off Porto Pino beaches (Sardinia). Whilst the\udgeological settings of these areas show similar outcropping lithologies, the clastic component of these mixed\udbiogenic and quartz-feldpar sand facies is transported by different agents in the Australian and Sardinian site. In this\udpaper, the similarity between sediment facies is highlighted and their comparison has produced new insights into the\udprocesses regulating sediment accumulation in two hydrodynamically different embayments. The characteristics of\udseagrass beds and their link to the beach system are also compared and set within the context of Mediterranean and\udSouth Australian bioregions. These outcomes are relevant for beach management, as European and Australian\udenvironmental regulations are compared herein
