Sea-sand isn't really what we need. It's not pure enough, and a lot rounder than river sand, so less useful for construction.
But this does matter to the economical activities happening there I guess. Like the ice cream selling boy going over the beach. If the wet beach wouldn't belong to the region, that could create a whole lot of administrative problems. But since I fail to find any good data concerning the water lines (even tried altitude data), I guess we won't be able to adapt the boundaries for now.
