Abstract
Aerial photographs of the Shcnar and Seisho coasts facing Sagami Bay were read to investigate characteristics of coastal topography. Shoreline features are summarized around Enoshima island, a headland built at the Chigasaki Beach, Chigasaki Fishery habor, Sagami River mouth, Ohiso Port, Ninomiya Fishery harbor and Sakawa River mouth.
It is found that beach erosion is severe at the Sagami River mouth and east of Ninomiya Fishery harbor due to river mouth dredging and the interruption of eastward littoral drift, respectively. Oblique aerial photographing looking at the shoreline direction is strongly recommended to realize shoreline features around various coastal structures.
