Coastal Deposition Landforms: Beach and Spit

Starter Question : Why does coastal deposition take place?

The reason why coastal deposition takes place is because when material is transported, it must be deposited somewhere, so deposition usually takes place where there is low energy, where the materials can be easily deposited, such as a bay where it is sheltered and the waves lack energy, thus  a lot of sand , sediment and shingle can be found there.
