A study on the changes of beach profile and sediment characteristics at Pantai Teluk<br />

Ketapang has been conducted three times which is in October 2017, December 2017<br />

and February 2018. The main objective of this study is to determine changes of beach<br />

profile shape and to study the sediment characteristics that was available at area. The<br />

study found that the beach profile has changed continuously with time and the natural<br />

forces such as the action of higher wind speed, the highest amount of rainfall<br />

distribution, strong wave, and current became a factor for the beaches to erode. The<br />

sedimentological data analysis was indicated that Pantai Teluk Ketapang was<br />

dominated by medium sand and coarse sand. From the overall of study, it can be<br />

concluded that most of the sampling station have undergone an erosion during<br />

sampling from October 2017 until February 2018 due to the monsoon season.<br />
