| Summary: | The present study on beach morphology and its profile dynamics was carried out to
categorize the morphodynamic classification of selected beaches in Pahang, comprising
the areas from Teluk Chempedak to Kuala Pahang. Beach stations were monitored
monthly for a complete 1-year cycle; beginning from February 2012 to February 2013 at 12
corresponding stations established at random morphological intervals. Based on the results
obtained, which include the granulometric analysis and beach surface topography, three
main beach classes have been differentiated: reflective, intermediate and dissipative
beaches. The reflective beaches exhibits rather high degree beach slopes and coarsegrain sand sizes compared to intermediate and dissipative classes.
