The municipality of Goiana, since the 2000s, has been showing considerable socioeconomic growth due to the implementation of projects that are influencing the increase in the occupation of the municipal coastal zone. For the research now presented, Google Earth Pro satellite images were used for the spatio-temporal analysis of the evolution of the delimited geomorphological units and mapping. Through the ArcGis 10.3, the final evolutionary models of the relief were vectored, as well as maps of land use and occupation were produced, in addition to obtaining field data through a check list that correlates coastal processes and features to landscape elements. natural and anthropic and their respective morphodynamic stages. The study area comprises the Ponta de Pedras and Carne de Vaca beach units, in addition to the estuary environment of the Megaó River. From the results, it was found that most of the study areas are characterized as belonging to the morphodynamic stage of Integrade medium, due to the identification of erosion geoindicators as to the stability of the medium. The morphodynamic processes found in the geomorphological units are intrinsically related to the urbanization processes of coastal areas.
