Popis:	This paper deals with the processes operating on the beaches of Goa, interpreted from imagery, followed by ground-truth collection and field checks. Studies on Landsat imagery bring out two distinct coastal geomorphological features, one north and the other south of Vasco-da-Gama. The beaches to the south indicate the prograding shoreline with deposition being the dominant phenomenon. The beaches to the north of Vasco-da-Gama reveal a retrograding shoreline where erosion is dominant.
