The picture below is of Starting Point in Devon.
Wave cut platforms form as a result of cliffs retreating
Destructive waves erode the base of the cliff forming a wave cut platform.
As the cliff retreats it leaves a wave cut platform a few metres below sea level.
This becomes the base of the original headland and can be seen when the tide is low
