<P> The sand deposit may extend well inland from the berm crest , where there may be evidence of one or more older crests ( the storm beach ) resulting from very large storm waves and beyond the influence of the normal waves . At some point the influence of the waves ( even storm waves ) on the material comprising the beach stops , and if the particles are small enough ( sand size or smaller ) , winds shape the feature . Where wind is the force distributing the grains inland , the deposit behind the beach becomes a dune . </P>
