Coastal Erosion Landforms
Field notes: headland at Greyhaven Bay
Greyhaven Bay has a resistant headland made of hard limestone. A narrow band of softer rock crosses its seaward face. The prevailing waves approach the headland at an angle. Over time, erosion along the softer band has produced a sequence of landforms. Wave energy is strongest where waves are concentrated around the headland.

A coastal survey records two stretches of Greyhaven Bay. The values are average annual cliff retreat measured over ten years.
Stretch A: soft clay cliffs; exposed to prevailing waves; average retreat 0.8 m per year.
Stretch B: hard limestone headland; sheltered bay side; average retreat 0.1 m per year.
