A sand dune is a mount, hill or ridge of sand that lies behind the part of the beach affected by
tides. They are formed over many years when windblown sand is trapped by beach grass or other
stationary objects. Dune grasses anchor the dunes with their roots, holding them temporarily in
place, while their leaves trap sand promoting dune expansion. Without vegetation, wind and
waves regularly change the form and location of dunes. Dunes are not permanent structures.
