[OSM-talk] Beaches

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

    I just looked at a 1:250,000 scale OS map and found that they  
usually draw a thin black coastline, and have the yellow(ish) beach  
area on the sea side of that line; sometimes also to both sides of  
that line. (Good examples: North Uist, Dornoch, Holy Island nr.  
Berwick upon Tweed).

Those of you having mapped beaches - how did you do it? If the  
coastline is the "mean high water mark", then a the portion of the  
beach that is nearly always accessible should be inside the  
coastline, and the portion that is only visible at low tide should be  
outside, right?

Bye
Frederik
