Q1: What are the main landscape types along the coast?

[Answer]

People often use the word seaside when they are talking about the coast. It's a good word because it tells you exactly where the coast is – beside the sea.

But coasts are very varied, and are a mixture of these types of landscape: bays, headlands, deltas, and estuaries, although YOU may be more interested in a part of a bay – the beach.
