# Due to moisture around the sea,
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!

# well, nearly.
You have a region of vegetation, followed by beach due to the erosive effect of waves.

I'll shut up now.

# So that area of erosion
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.
