Abstract
The Candi Dasa coast located in the eastern part of Bali Island in Indonesia was a famous coastal resort with the well-developed coral reef along the coastline. In recent years, coral mining has beenwidely carried out for getting construction materials, resulting in the deterioration of the coast. After the coral mining, wave action to the beach increased and coral sand was washed away. Various measures using twenty Tshapegroins and seawalls were taken, but the situation is getting worse. This study investigates the causes of the beach erosion of this coast by using aerial photographing, sounding and field observations.
