    <p>Leave the coast line alone - that is where Oz lies.. :)  And you
      might, with luck, find the other boundaries there too.</p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>The 'beach' does not stop at the hi tide mark but extends out to
      sea... So I'd remove the beach connection to the hi tide coastline
      way and map them for some distance out to sea .. not far but
      enough to give the correct impression that sand extends outwards.
      <br>
    </p>
    <p>That may help with leaving the boundary alone but add ing the
      individual beaches... <br>
