Abstract
Beach erosion is a widespread phenomenon on Caribbean beaches, with rates of coastline retreat between 2.2 and 0.5 m/year and higher reports in some areas. Different investigations indicate the combination of natural and anthropogenic causes and highlight the current influence of climate change related sea level rise. It is recorded as a generalizing trend the landward displacement of the beach profile, with sand transfer above the dunes and sand bars in a process that fits better the model proposed by Dean and Maurmeyer (1983) than the recognized model by Brunn (1962).
