This investigation, which involved the satellite images together with simulation model, focuses on the effect of the sea hydrodynamics on coastal area classification. The study area is the North-West coasts of Gulf of Oman. Mike 21 was employed to simulate the hydrodynamics of the Oman Gulf and Aster images were used to classify the coastal area applying Shepard’s method. Coastal classification of the area proposed the secondary coasts cover just 7% of the area including the Sirik headland and Jask regions. Intrusion of land toward the sea for Sirik headland and existence of longshore current in the area are the main reasons. The Jask area is located in transition zone between deep water of Gulf of Oman and shallow water of Hormoz Strait and was influenced by marine affects.Journal
