This study aims to compare particle grain size and moisture content in samples from beach sediment and paddy fields. Grain size variations were measured along different zones and stations in a line transect at each location. The grain sizes for both study areas were determined using drysieving and a Laser Diffraction Particle Size Analyzer. Results showed that beach sediment mostly consists of medium sand, is moderately sorted, very negatively skewed, and extremely leptokurtic. In contrast, paddy field sediment is mostly very fine silt, very poorly sorted, negatively skewed, and very leptokurtic. The mean of particle grain size recorded in beach and paddy field were 1.57 _ 0.23 and 7.63 _ 0.44 respectively. Moisture content was measured using oven-drying method. The mean of moisture content recorded in beach and paddy field were 6.72 _ 5.01% and 52.03 _ 3.35% respectively. Results revealed that paddy fields have significantly higher moisture content than beach sediment. Descriptive ana.....
