Headlands are made of hard rock that resists erosion, while the bays are made of soft sediments that are easily eroded. Over time, the waves and currents will wear away the softer rock of the bays, leaving the harder rock of the headlands exposed. This process will continue until the headlands are eroded back to form a straight line of cliffs.
