A study towards erosion at Pantai Tok Jembal which was inside the coastal<br />

development. Beach profile survey was carried and the vertical data and the sediment<br />

samples were collected from nine transect in three different time which were during<br />

October 2017, December 2017 and February 2018. Result shows that erosion occurred<br />

in Transect 1, Transect 3, Transect 4 and Transect 8 but there still have amount of<br />

deposition still occurring there. This type of coastal development helps the beach to<br />

slow down the wave impact but at the same time, it blocked the sediment<br />

transportation at that beaches. Longshore transport route has been changed from its<br />

usual. The sediment characteristic analysis show that this study area are dominated<br />

by coarser sand and medium sand. The rainfall distribution, wind speed and tidal factor<br />

during Northeast Monsoon has been increased the rate of erosion to its peak condition.<br />
