Hello,

I don't know whether it exists but I couldn't find it.

I thought tropic beaches which you could build 'around' the coast (like the Marrast Embankments BSC) are nice.

Where the beach texture is displayed is largely in our control.  See the Exemplars Related to Terrain post that I did.  To simulate something like the Marrast Embankmets, I would recommend a high Beach Altitude setting coupled with a low Beach Width.  You would just have to make sure not to make such a slope that the cliff textures were displayed.  That slope too is under control, by the Max Normal Y for Cliff.  A setting of "0" here will have cliffs never appear, and a setting of "1" will have them always appear.

Thank you for your reply. I think it would work this way!
