Abstract
As a study on beach erosion in developing countries, beach erosion in Kalibo City located in the northern part of Panay Island in Phillipine was investigated together with the investigation of the deformation of a sand spit using satellite images. The study area is the shoreline of 7.7 km length between New Washington south of Kalibo City and the sand spit located southwest of the city. Field observation was carried out on January 16, 2014 after Typhoon No. 30. In this area, the shoreline severely receded owing to the decrease in sand supply from the Aklan River. Local optimazation method using seawalls has been taken, resulting in no fundamental solution of erosion.
