In this article, beach ridges to the north of the Lake Cernek located in northeast part of the Kızılırmak delta was studied on the basis of scanning electron microscopy analyses and grain size parameters. The analyses results show that the studied sands, contrary to that in coastal dune ridges, belong to successive sandy beach ridges that have formedbehind the prograding delta shoreline. Actually, grain size parameters and spectroscopic and morphological peculiarities of beach ridge sands formed
