Although any sand on the surface of the [[world]] can be considered [[desert]], a proper beach exists because the sand was generated as part of placing the water when the world was [[Getting Started#World Creation|initialized]]. This appears to take the shape of a large, rounded intrusion of sand into the previously existing [[dirt]] and [[stone]] which is then partially replaced by the slightly smaller body of water, leaving a border of sand. One common characteristic of a beach is underlying dirt.
