Shoreline erosion process regulate by several factors which derive from interior of the earth, atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere and biosphere. Gravitational force of the moon is also a considerable factor that determine the shoreline erosion rate. Thus, natural forces, process and dynamism belong to endogenic, exogenic, extraterrestrial along with anthropogenic origin control the recession and accretion level of the shoreline and denudation process of the coast. Literature and ground truth data reveals that shoreline erosion cycle is complex process which influence all kinds of dynamism, actions and processes belong to geo-system. The clear picture of this is still mystery. However, it can be conclude when referring geological and geomorphological history of Sri Lanka, the natural forces and process that regulate the shoreline erosion in Western coast (study area) are constant. The current study surfaces the fact that the anthropogenic (Human activities) influence with slow rise of sea level have become leading factors that determine the coastal erosion process in particularly in the West coast of Sri Lanka. Reduction of beach sediment supply and constructing hard structures to protect properties from shoreline erosion along beaches from where sediment comes have become dominant factors that regulate the erosion rate in the study area.
