The monitoring of coastal zones is of vital importance for their care and proper management and planning because anthropogenic and natural activities along the coastline have caused large losses of territory. A key indicator for its monitoring is the evolution of the coastline. The scarcity of cartographic information is still a limitation in developing countries. Currently, thanks to the advance of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) technology, it is possible to obtain georeferenced aerial images to later process them with specialized software and obtain orthophotos to carry out monitoring studies of the coastal zone with high precision and in a cost-effective manner in real time. This research presents a practical methodology for the realization of a monitoring study of the evolution of the coastline using a low-cost UAV in a stretch of beach in Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico.
