    Headlands are formed when the sea attacks a section of coast with alternating bands of hard and soft rock.

    The bands of soft rock, such as sand and clay, erode more quickly than those of more resistant rock, such as chalk. This leaves a section of land jutting out into the sea called a headland. The areas where the soft rock has eroded away, next to the headland, are called bays
