Barrier islands, a coastal landform and a type of barrier system, are relatively narrow strips of sand that parallel the mainland coast. They usually occur in chains, consisting of a few islands or more than a dozen. Excepting the tidal inlets that separate the islands, a barrier chain may extend uninterrupted for over a hundred kilometers. The length and width of barriers and overall morphology of barrier coasts are related to parameters including tidal range, wave energy, sediment supply, sea-level trends and basement controls. Chains of barrier islands can be found along the world's coastlines of different settings, suggesting that they can form and be maintained in a variety of environmental settings. Numerous theories have been given to explain their formations.
