Home›Coastal and Reef Features›All Coastal and Reef FeaturesBrowse ByAll Coastal and Reef FeaturesReference and ClassificationDevelopingSea stacks, coastal cliffs, wave-cut platforms, reefs and related shoreline features shaped by marine and wave erosion, following the coastal erosional landform class of standard geomorphology. Includes named sea stacks (Twelve Apostles, Durdle Door, Perce Rock), wave-cut platforms and sea cliffs, and reefs and ledges lying offshore. Belongs here: any formation whose defining shape comes from the erosive action of waves and tides at a coastline. Does not belong here: a whole island or archipelago treated as a landmass in its own right (Islands and Archipelagos), or an inland karst or fluvial feature that happens to lie near a coast. This subcategory holds entries flagged as likely mis-filed under Geological Formations rather than a coastal or marine category; they may be relocated after review, but each now has a real, correctly named home rather than sitting inside a catch-all erosional bucket.FactsAll Coastal and Reef FeaturesSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonFormation OriginWell-attestedCoasts are influenced by the topography of the surrounding landscape and by aquatic erosion, such as that caused by waves. 1All Coastal and Reef FeaturesFilter Results117 entriesFormation FamilyAllGeneral Reef and Coast Concepts (13)Reefs and Shoals of East and Southeast Asia (35)Reefs and Shoals of Europe (9)Reefs and Shoals of the Atlantic and Caribbean (15)Reefs and Shoals of the Indian Ocean (8)Reefs and Shoals of the Pacific and Australia (33)Sea Stacks and Coastal Rock Formations (4)Formation TypeAllGeneral Reef and Coast Concepts (13)Reefs and Shoals of East and Southeast Asia (35)Reefs and Shoals of Europe (9)Reefs and Shoals of the Atlantic and Caribbean (15)Reefs and Shoals of the Indian Ocean (8)Reefs and Shoals of the Pacific and Australia (33)Sea Stacks and Coastal Rock Formations (4)WhereAllAustralia (22)Belize (4)Brazil (1)Brunei (1)Canada (3)Chagos Archipelago (1)China (19)Colombia (3)Cook Islands (2)Cyprus (1)Denmark (2)Egypt (2)Federated States of Micronesia (1)Fiji (2)France (2)Germany (1)Hurghada (1)India (1)Indonesia (1)Jamaica (1)Kiribati (2)Malaysia (3)Malta (1)Mauritius (1)Mexico (2)Mozambique (1)New Zealand (1)Nicaragua (2)Niue (1)Norway (3)Palau (1)Panama (1)Philippines (5)Red Sea (1)Seychelles (2)Solomon Islands (2)South China Sea (3)South Korea (1)Sweden (2)Taiwan (3)United Kingdom (5)United States (7)Vietnam (11)Formed By (Process)AllErosion (9)Orogeny (1)Sedimentation (5)Volcanism (2)Weathering (1)Rock TypeAllLimestone (3)Protected StatusAllInternational Treaty Protected Area (2)Locally or Regionally Protected (11)National Park or Reserve (28)Natura 2000 Site (1)Ramsar Wetland Site (1)UNESCO World Heritage Site (11)Visitor AccessAllOpen (4)Restricted (1)DisciplineAllGeology (1)Geomorphology (29)Oceanography (85)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 17Sow and Pigs ReefCoastal and Reef FeaturesStackCoastal and Reef FeaturesSubi ReefCoastal and Reef FeaturesTema ReefCoastal and Reef FeaturesTennent ReefCoastal and Reef FeaturesThe Twelve ApostlesCoastal and Reef FeaturesTryal RocksCoastal and Reef FeaturesTwelve Apostles (Victoria)Coastal and Reef FeaturesVanguard BankCoastal and Reef FeaturesWave-cut platformCoastal and Reef FeaturesWest London ReefCoastal and Reef FeaturesWestern ReefCoastal and Reef FeaturesWhitsun ReefCoastal and Reef FeaturesWinslow Reef, Cook IslandsCoastal and Reef FeaturesWinslow Reef, Phoenix IslandsCoastal and Reef FeaturesWreck ReefsCoastal and Reef FeaturesZhongzhou ReefCoastal and Reef Features← Previous123Sources1.
