Short summary
This work evaluates shoreline response to storm impacts at four beaches in SW Spain by comparing medium- and short-term rates of shoreline change and storm parameters. Results show that shoreline behaviour is mainly determined by both anthropogenic and geological factors. Moreover, a correlation is found between storm parameters and shoreline changes in exposed areas with a low degree of human intervention. This work provides a useful contribution to the prediction of coastal variations.
