“…The remnant block with an inlet is a bluff that is now vegetated. This finding aligns with [20] report that behind the beach and to the east of the cave are bluffs almost completely covered by vegetation. They were former cliffs, degraded by subaerial processes after emergence.…”

“…The study revealed that the cliff represents escarpments that mark abrupt changes in slope, formed by marine erosion and covered with vegetation. This observation aligns with [20] assertion that the cliff is covered with vegetation. The observation of vegetation on the cliff confirms [15] assertion that the cliff serves as a habitat for plants.…”

“…Studies have been conducted along the Komenda coastline, notwithstanding, these studies have not paramount the potential erosional and depositional forms. The only few studies that discussed coastal landforms in Ghana is the work of Dei, however, it was a general overview of the coastal landforms in Ghana p. 944 [20]. More closely to the study area is the work of [18], which looked at some of the landforms at the Gold Hill beach but it did not focus attention on the forces that operate on the coastal landforms.…”

The coast is a dynamic region where various processes with their origin from the land, atmosphere and sea interact. The interactional nature of these processes gives rise to one of the most spectacular forms along coastlines and these are coastal landforms. However, there has not been much research that unearths and describes the coastal landforms caused by deposition and erosion along the about 1 km stretch of the Komenda Ghana coastline. The study is an exposition of the coastal landforms caused by both deposition and erosion along the coastline. The study thrived on a descriptive research design coupled with observations, measurements and photographic presentation. The study revealed diverse coastal erosional landforms along the Komenda shoreline which encapsulate caves, geo, a blowhole, a stack and stumps while the only depositional landforms found were rocky and sandy beaches. Also, the study revealed the massive operation of sub-aerial processes such as weathering and mass wasting as the main forces operating along the shoreline. The study recommends increased research along the area to ensure a better understanding of its climatic, hydrodynamical, geological and geomorphological conditions which will provide a more and comprehensive understanding of coastal landforms and the factors shaping the coastline at every point in time. The study area has high nature conservation and recreational value. Therefore, it is crucial to sustainably monitor and to improve the planning processes in these vulnerable landscapes.
