Water flows parallel to the shore and this is reflected in the orientation of sandbanks. Typically, sandbanks of the English Channel and southern North Sea rise 10 to 25 m above the sea floor and are 10 to 30 km long and 1 to 3 km wide. [2] [1] [3] The volume of material in some of the banks has been estimated at between 70 and 1100 Million m 3 ...

Shoals can appear as a coastal landform in the sea, where they are classified as a type of ocean bank, or as fluvial landforms in rivers, streams, and lakes. A shoal–sandbar may seasonally separate a smaller body of water from the sea, such as: Marine lagoons; Brackish water estuaries; Freshwater seasonal stream and river mouths and deltas.
Its open sea end is distant from but due east of Foulness Point and due south of Clacton-on-Sea (both in Essex) and is bounded by two large typical sandbank form of shoals, the Knock John and Sunk Sands to the north-west, and the Girdler – and Long Sands, the largest of those away from the shore – spread out to the south and east.
