I'm no pro... but since I'm online at the moment I'll see if I can help... 1. If you're using a plane for the water, simple raise the terrain above the water plane, then click the little down arrow to the right of the terrain (when it's selected). It should sit down right on top of the plane. 2. If using a terrain for the water using the above method will usually leave 'gaps' as the land terrain sits on the 'wavetops'... switch to a side or front view and lower it to the level you want. something you might try... you can duplicate your 'land' terrain then crop the first copy of it down from the top and give it a nice sandy beach texture.. then crop the second up from the bottom to match the first and give it your land texture.
