Abstract
At coastal inlets two main principles in by-passing of littoral drift sand by natural action occur: by-passing on offshore bar and by-passing by tidal flow action. This article discusses these two ways of by-passing as a function of littoral drift and tidal flow characteristics of the inlet in question.Keywords
