What does beach berm mean?

Answer:
A beach berm is a mound of loose material (sand, shingles, shells, jetsam, flotsam) on the backshore of a beach.

It records the height to which waves have washed up the beach face at high tide.

A beach can bear more than one berm. When so, the highest berm will be landward of lower berm(s).
