Gulf Islands National Seashore: Langdon BeachBarrier islands are the outstanding features of the park. Composed of brilliant white sand carried seaward by rivers draining the Appalachian Mountains, the islands are long and narrow. They are called barrier islands becasue they serve as blockades to ocean waves and violent storms that would otherwise strike the mainland coast with greater force.
