A sea arch is formed by erosion, not deposition. It is created by the continuous action of waves eroding the rock from both sides of a headland, eventually forming an arch.
Headland.
straight from junior cert geography book: A sea arch is a natural archway in a rocky headland. If a cave erodes rights through a headland (or if two caves erode through from either side), an arch may form.
When waves wash away the sides of a headland, it can eventually form a sea arch. As the waves erode the rock on both sides of the headland, a bridge of rock is left connecting the headland to the sea stack created by further erosion, forming the sea arch. Over time, the sea arch may also collapse due to continued erosion, leaving behind a standalone sea stack.

Headland Archaeology was created in 1996.
Headland Dixie Runners was created in 1950.
Headland,Sea Cave, Sea Arch, Sea stack,and wave-cut cliff. EXAMPLE WITH SEA ARCH AND SEA STACK: A sea arch is formed when two caves on opposite sides of a headland join. The sea arch collapses when the waves & weathered sediment (rock particles),hit it continuously in which a sea stack is formed. the sea arch is then .eroded and deposited in a new place.

The features sea stack, sea headland, cliff, sea arch, and sea cave all form from continuous wave erosion over a long period.
When two sea caves on opposite sides of a headland unite, they form an arch. Over time, continued erosion can cause the arch to collapse, leaving behind a stack. Subsequent erosion can erode the stack to form a sea stack.
the Romans created the arch
