Causeway
A causeway is a road across some water - this one is covered when the tide comes in.
Cliffs
In some seaside places, you get cliffs where the land meets the sea. These cliffs in Dorset contain fossils.
Crabs
Crabs live in the sea - you can use bacon to catch them!
Deckchairs
People sit on deckchairs on the beach. You can fold them up and take them home.
Donkeys
Having a ride on a donkey is a traditional holiday activity.
Fishes and Pebbles
We haven't got a picture of a real fish, but here's one we made in the sand and decorated with pebbles.
Groynes
Groynes are used on some beaches to stop the sand or pebbles moving along the beach or washing away.
Harbours and Boats
Harbours are places where boats can stop to let people and goods on and off.
Hotels
There are lots of grand old hotels by the sea. Some people stay in them when they go on holiday.
Lifeboats
When people on boats get into trouble, the Lifeboat comes to rescue them. They are often launched into the sea down ramps like this one at Lizard Point in Cornwall.
Lifeguards
Beaches that are popular with swimmers often have lifeguards. They can keep an eye on things from their towers.
Lighthouse
Lighthouses shine a light at night to warn ships away from the rocks.
Limpet
Limpets are creatures with shells. They stick to rocks - like a limpet!
Pebbles and Fossils
Not all beaches are sandy - some have pebbles, and even fossils on them. We found an ammonite on the beach in Dorset.
Piers
Piers used to be very popular at the seaside, but lots of them have been damaged by bad weather and are too expensive to repair.
Piers
Piers allow you to walk out into the sea without getting wet. This one, in Cromer, has a lifeboat station on the end.
Rocky Beach
Not all beaches are sandy - this one in Robin Hood's Bay is rocky, and many ships have been lost on the rocks.
Sandcastles
Building a sandcastle is a traditional seaside activity.
Seals
The seaside is home to lots of wildlife, including fish, birds and seals.
Seaweed and Shells
Beaches are sometimes covered with natural things such as seaweed and shells - which you can use to decorate your sandcastles.
D-Day Landings
The army had to travel across the sea to liberate France, and they built a temporary harbour on the beach so that they could get tanks and other equipment ashore without needing to capture a port or harbour.
