Sometimes wetland even if there is a slope. Depends on all sorts of
factors.  There's
a continuum between beach and wetland.  Not a very broad one, but it's
there.  Mostly
it will obviously be one or the other, but there are bound to be
exceptions.  A wetland
in monsoon season might be a beach outside of that season.  Unlikely but
possible.
