This study focused on determining the shoreline change at the East-Java coast by comparing the shorelines between 2006 and 2015, using digital shoreline analysis system (DSAS) techniques to identify and measure erosion (shoreline retreat) and accretion (shoreline advance). Shoreline change rates are calculated according to Shoreline Change Envelope (SCE), Net Shoreline Movement (NSM), End Point Rate (EPR), and Linear Regression Rate (LRR). Results present local variations in shoreline change distance as well as in shoreline change rates. The statistical methods showed similarities with the highest accretion distance of 991.57 meters in the region of Mulyorejo and highest erosion distance of 928.75 meters in Sidoarjo. The EPR shows a rate with a maximum of 169.98 m/year and a minimum of 3.428 m/year. As for the LRR a maximum of 189.58 m/year and a minimum of 5.467 m/year were conducted from calculations.
