I just had a thought, say you were in a desert, and you were walking along, and you eventually reached an ocean, now, at what point does the desert become a beach?

maybe at the point the sea is visible...?
EDIT: Or maybe when you find seagulls?

you generally find a desert edged with vegetation and then the sea, so there is not usually sand at a desert shore line.
possible
FACT!

You have a region of vegetation, followed by beach due to the erosive effect of waves.
I'll shut up now.

would be the beach.
Due to the position of most desert shores, the inward sea wind tends to be of a low force, so erosion will be light.
This as the case you will find the beach will be from 1m to 15m as a rough guide just on wind strength. Add to that sea levels and tides you can look at a beach of 5m to 30m.
Estimate based on facts.

when the sand was out the range of the water/moisture, say half a mile
