Abstract：Based on the topographic profiles and sediment grain size measured along the coasts of the Haiyang Wanmi Beach and the Weihai International Beach in summer and winter of 2011 and the collected hydrological data as well,the differences in geomor-phology and sediments of the northern and southern coasts in the eastern Shandong Pen-insula are analyzed and the differences in dynamic conditions along the two typical sandy coasts are discussed.The results show that the southern coast is broad and gentle and developed with beach ridges,beach berms and sand ripples.The sediments there are dominated with medium-coarse and medium-fine sands in the upper part of the under-water shore slope,and with silt and clayey silt in the lower part.The northern coast is steeper and developed with berm scarps and underwater bars,and the sediments are dominated with gravelly sand.All these differences are mainly attributed to wind, wave,tide and coastal current.
