The Best Mud Beaches

"The most extensive and best known mud beaches are along the coast of Surinam, on the north coast of South America, where huge quantities of fine sediment are imported from the Amazon River. The low wave climate and abundant mud produce beaches with the consistency of yogurt." - excerpt from the book, The Evolving Coast, by Richard A. Davis, Jr., published by Scientific American Library, 1997, pg. 155.
