In this study, geological and geomorphologic studies having the solution approaches for the coast edge line problem at the marginal-marine environments were realised. Some solutions on the matter were proposed. The eight following locations were chosen: the south of Lara Main Road (1), Aksu River Exit (2), Acisu Stream-2 (3), Aǧilisu Stream Exit (4), Köprüçay Exit (5), seashore at the south of Evrenseki (6), seashore at the east of Side (7) and Kizilot (8). Past and new images of the Google Earth satellite views, topographic maps and aerial views; lithological-sedimentological observations, fauna data in sediments, plant cover, artificial structures, previous literature and related law and rules were taken into consideration. Besides the matter were also evaluated in the views of tectonics and sea level changes. From the obtained data two significant subjects are seen as important points on the matter. The first is backward date and validity period in future. The second is effective sea level in height. In fact, recent geomorphologic structure of the eastern Antalya Coasts is the result of mixed functions such as wave, river and wind dominated activities. It is also important to indicate that internal parts of the land also comprise very low elevations up to just a few meters above the sea-level. As a result it is brought out that last and future centuries as a time, observations on the sea level changes in last and future decades as a space should be taken into consideration for the coast edge line solution.
