Littoral Cell
Littoral Cell : A reach of the coast that is isolated sedimentologically from adjacent coastal reaches and that features its own sources and sinks. Isolation is typically caused by protruding headlands, submarine canyons, inlets, and some river mouths that prevent littoral sediment from one cell to pass into the next. Cells may range in size from a multi-hundred meter Pocket Beach in a rocky coast to a Barrier Island many tens of kilometers long
