They are normally formed on a very gentle sloping coast which extends further into the sea. The water starts to deposit the load it is carrying at the point where the waves are breaking. The materials accumulated and form a break point bar which is a ridge parallel to the shore. This barrier is the offshore bar. All the strong waves break here and minor waves may form over the remaining distance to land. The section of the sea that is between the land this bar forms a lagoon. The lagoon may be colonized by marsh plants on the side bordering the sea.
