Resumo

The south coast of Pernambuco has been experiencing an urban expansion process in recent years that it is being accelerated by the economic development of the region.Some stretches are naturally vulnerable to erosion while others are under erosion process due to irregular occupation of the coastal zone.Annually, problems related to erosion processes are reported at Maracaípe beach.The aim of this work is to characterize the sediment transport through sedimentological, morphological and short term shoreline variation analysis of the Maracaípe beach, in order to clarify the sedimentological dynamics of this region.It was carried out topographic surveys of the beach from December of 2009 to December
