Abstract
Eleven artificial headlands were constructed on the OhncKashima Beach facing the Pacific Ocean to prevent further extension of beach erosion and to form the dynamically stable beach. This paper summarizes the results of the follow-up study of the new works applied on the actual coast. Field investigations such as bottom sounding around headlands and aerial photographing were conducted. It was found that the periodic changes of the shoreline configuration correpsonding to seasonal change of the wave direction exist on this coast and these variations of the shoreline position can be reduced by the effect of these headlands.
