Beaches have diverse types. Based on physical dimensions, they could be covering a spectrum from dissipative to reflective; natural or artificial; pocket, linear or logarithmic spiral shape; consisting of a sediment of mud, sands, gravels, cobbles, and boulders. Based on an anthropogenic dimension, they may be classified as remote, rural, urban or resorts [16]. In this respect, each beach has a unique character and faces its own problems arising from various degrees of human uses. This indicates that each beach needs its own specific management strategies. In fact, beaches are inherently multidimensional environments, comprised of interacting natural, social-cultural, and management systems [10,11]. Due to this multidimensional nature, natural, social and managerial parameters or criteria that are important to beach quality have earned increasing attention from researchers [12–14]. Relevant criteria include habitat management, water quality, clean beach, safety, spatial planning to manage different uses, control over the level of beach use, adequate facilities, among others. An investigation of 50 beach aspects in a number of countries also showed that ‘safety, facilities, water quality, no litter and scenery’ were five greatest important criteria on beach choice [15,16]. Improving performance of these criteria is a way to prevent
