Coves, bays and headlands are naturally formed by the sea. A cove is formed when a band of soft rock like sandstone on a cliff or beach is washed away by the sea, consequently forming a U shape in the land. This process takes makes millions of years to form. An example of one of these is Lulworth cove, South England. A bay is extremely similar to this and is formed in the same way but the main difference between the two is that a bay less curved than a cove. A headland is a small piece if hard rock that would be in between two coves or bays that sticks out from the rest of the land, such as Old Harry Rocks.
