[HOT] [OSM-talk] Port Examples, Please? (Piers, Sand Piers, Sand Breaks, Port Areas small and large)

[Janko Mihelić]

Those two "piers" on the beach port are actually man_made=breakwater.
They are used to shelter the beach from winds and waves. I would map
them as an area, sharing the nodes of the coastline.

As for the beach, I would just draw an area around it, and tag it as a
natural=beach. Maybe someone could say that it is a big slipway, but I
wouldn't go so far.
