The coast is the whole of the area next to the sea, while the beach is just the sandy part that people sunbathe on.

It depends on the sand! Sometimes the sand is soft, and sometimes it's more coarse or rough.

Hi.. I think, when you walk across a beach you feel sand on the beach and the sand is not rough its soft
and hot. If you are not wearing water shoes .
If possible, I would like that people who leads this page, could answer our doubt. Thank you.

I'd say that the sea is either rough or calm. Beaches can be pebbly or sandy.
