Description Sediment samples were collected once a month at five different inter-tidal zones across Yarada beach during May-2009 to May-2010 These sediments are characterized by bimodal and unimodal behaviour and most of them are sorted as moderately as well as moderately well sorted Beach sediments are identified as follows: 71% are positively skewed and 29% are negatively skewed with 35% are very leptokurtic and 23% are platykurtic character Mean values suggest that samples across the beach vary from medium to fine with 58% medium sands and 32% finer Average median size (D50) of samples varies between 0.253 mm and 0.353 mm and effective grain size (D10) varies between 0.154 mm and 0.225 mm Moderately sorted sediments are dominating more along this coast.
