Sometimes wetland even if there is a slope. Depends on all sorts of
factors. There's
a continuum between beach and wetland. Not a very broad one, but it's
there. Mostly
it will obviously be one or the other, but there are bound to be
exceptions. A wetland
in monsoon season might be a beach outside of that season. Unlikely but
possible.
