 From http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Beach

 Beach areas should always meet with a natural=coastline way. Do not use 
 this tag for patches of sand/gravel which are not by a coastline. Note that 
 the natural=coastline should ideally be positioned at the average high tide 
 line, which may mean the beach is quite small or not mapped at all in fact.

 By this logic wouldn't the beach cover from the average high tide line
 to the average low tide line?


yes, but tides are IMHO off this logic.

cheers,
Martin

Where's the flaw specifically, since tides are specifically referenced
in the wiki page.
