Based on accumulated field experience, the author proposed a schema for the study of coasts and beaches. Six sequential steps are recommended in knowing: (1) the tidal range, (2) waves and coastal processes, (3) coastal habitats, (4) extreme changes, (5) spatial variation, and (6) human actions. This provides a helpful start for beginners and a basis for further details and elaboration for the more knowledgeable.
