Wave refraction concentrates wave energy at the headlands increasing erosion relative to embayments, where wave energy is dispersed.
Where can you find headlands and bays?

Why do coastal lands erode faster than land at the ends of inlets or bays?

Why is coastal erosion more rapid in some areas than others?
The weaker rocks are eroded more quickly, forming bays, while the harder rocks form headlands. Softer rocks can be eroded at rates of over 2 metres a year, harder rocks can be eroded at rates as little as 0.001 metres a year. As headlands stick out into the sea, they are more easily attacked by wind and waves.
When does fog usually form in inlets bays?
Morning
What type of coast contains headlands and bays?
A Discordant Coastline I think.
Do headlands or bays or regular shorelines experience more erosion?
headlands will experience the most, because they are the line of least resistance (sticking out into the sea) and will catch the full force of the waves, as opposed to the bays and shorelines they shelter.
