>> "Beach areas should always meet with a natural=coastline way. Do not use this tag for patches of sand/gravel which are not by a coastline. Note that the natural=coastline should ideally be positioned at the average high tide line, which may mean the beach is quite small or not mapped at all in fact."

yes, but tides are IMHO off this logic.
