Hello,

FYI I have deleted the beaches you added here. These are grassy areas, nothing more. They may have appeared to be beaches from satellite imagery, but I can confirm from personal experience they're not.

Unfortunately the addition of beaches to OSM by new users has elicited a lot of scrutiny because of Pokemon Go, as described in a Washington Post article from a few days ago. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/05/11/pokemon-go-fake-beaches-wiglett/ You don't seem to be among that user group that wants to add fake data to OSM, but please note that the addition of beaches to the map will have more eyes on it than usual, and it's nothing personal.

I can definitely confirm the beach on the south side of Hwy 8 exists though. :) Note however that you don't need to, and shouldn't add the tag `name=beach` to a beach area; it's totally superfluous, the `natural=beach` tag is all you need.

Welcome to OSM and happy mapping. :)
