No. The beach is above the high tide line. For everyone who has never seen the sea .... Commonly a sandy beach consists of a dry part with loose sand above the high tide line and a wet part with compact sand between the low and high tide lines. What the wiki is trying to say, is that you should map the dry part. -- m.v.g., Cartinus _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
