The coast is mostly formed by erosional landforms, which give rise to a series of cliffs that slide down to the sea. The sensitivity of this coast to marine erosion is due to the abundance of rainfall, the strong waves, the structure of alternating hard and soft layers (“flysch”), and the subvertical position of the strata. The beaches are located in protected areas such as estuaries and bays being of tectonic origin and making up barely 10% of the total coastline.
