Navigate beyond maritime shorelines to discover inland hydrologic and geological park terrain.
A beach is a shore zone composed of loose sediment such as sand, gravel, pebbles, cobbles, shells, or volcanic material. Waves, currents, wind, sediment supply, and changing water levels continually shape its profile and extent. The type represents the physical shoreline feature, whether coastal or inland, and does not imply a managed bathing area, permanent sandy surface, or recreational facility.
A river is a substantial natural watercourse that flows through a defined channel toward another river, lake, wetland, sea, or inland basin. Its system may include tributaries, distributaries, floodplains, seasonal reaches, gorges, waterfalls, and deltas far beyond any single mapped park relationship. The distinction from a stream depends on local convention, scale, and source usage rather than one universal rule.

Rock is a broad normalized type for a named natural outcrop, isolated block, exposed mass, sea stack, monolith, tor, or other prominent rocky landmark that lacks a more specific category. It represents an individual geographic entity rather than rock material in general. Source subtype and descriptive context are essential because the category covers forms with very different scales and origins.
A viewpoint is a named observation location from which surrounding terrain, water, or other natural features can be seen and interpreted. Unlike the other categories, it identifies a place defined by its outlook rather than a landform or hydrological system in its own right. It may be entirely natural, lightly adapted, or supported by built infrastructure, but that distinction requires feature-specific evidence.
