Headlands and bays form on discordant coastlines, where bands of rock of alternating resistance run perpendicular to the coast. Bays form when weak (less resistant) rocks (such as sands and clays ) are eroded, leaving bands of stronger (more resistant) rocks (such as chalk , limestone , and granite ) forming a headland, or peninsula .

Part of the Dorset coastline running north from the Portland limestone of Durlston Head is a clear example of a discordant coastline.
