- There may be several beach berms and in some cases no berms.
- Under normal conditions a beach berm is formed on the upper part of the foreshore, and over the backshore during severe events.
- During dry periods berms are often formed across openings to minor streams and lagoons, such blocking are also referred to as bar formations.
