Geomorphology is the study of the landforms of the earth and the process that form them especially those that lead to the erosion, transport, and deposition of sediments. The present study has been made to record the varied coastal geomorphic features along the Thiruvallur coastal stretch. The coastal zone of southeast coast have contained a lot of morphological changes due to the many natural hazards. The area of Thiruvallur is the part of the Southeast coast of India. The geomorphic features of this area resulted from various coastal landward process of erosion-accretion or due to other natural causes of sea level changes and sea water interactions. The details of the features such as strand lines, sandy beach, mudflat, lagoon, back swamps, barrier Island, salt marshes, estuary, tidal creeks , spit and shoal has been recorded as well as the significance of their occurrence is presented. The coastal geomorphology of the study area clearly established not only the sea level changes but also landward process and climatic conditions.
