A longitudinal coast is formed when the coastline runs parallel to the direction of prevailing winds and ocean currents, resulting in the erosion and deposition of sediment in a linear pattern. Sediment is transported along the coast, creating features such as barrier islands, spits, and sand dunes aligned parallel to the shore.
