A raised beach is a geological formation that occurs when a former beach area is lifted above its original sea level due to tectonic activity, changes in sea level, or post-glacial rebound. This can happen as a result of processes such as land uplift, where the land rises due to tectonic forces or due to the melting of glaciers, which can cause a rebound of the Earth's crust.
