The present OSM wiki defintion for beach
is "Coastal beaches should be mapped down to the mean high water spring line (natural <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:natural>=coastline
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dcoastline>)"
(from https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:natural=beach)
I think this is incorrect .. they should be mapped past the high water mark to
the low water mark.
I see a beach as the place where the sea meets the land .. and that includes
the bit between hi and low water .. even the extremes of hi and low.

low-water marks."
Comments? Any that support the high water mark limit I'd be interested
in seeing.
