Coastline changes evolution of different intensities at all times under the influence of natural and anthropogenic effects. In this paper, we extracted the coastline of the Tumen River estuary from 1985 to 2020 using the digitizing method, verified the accuracy using the visual interpretation results, and analyzed the changes of the coastline of the Tumen River estuary through the area method and the baseline method. The results showed that the coastline showed an erosion trend during 35 years, with an average erosion rate of 0.05 m/year, an average erosion distance of 3.06 m, and an erosion area of 19.25 ha. Among the human activities that retarded the erosion of the coastline, these activities had a long-term impact on the natural morphology of the coastline.
