[[File:Rimini banner.jpg|thumb|upright=2.5|Panoramic view of Rimini Beach]]Rimini's coastal strip, made of recent marine deposits, is edged by a fine sandy beach, {{convert|15|km|mi|abbr=off|adj=off}} long and up to {{convert|200|m|ft|abbr=off|adj=off}} wide, interrupted only by river mouths and gently shelving towards the sea. Along the coastline, there is a low sandy cliff, created by the rising sea in around 4000 BC, partly conserved north of Rimini, between Rivabella and [[Bellaria-Igea Marina]], approximately {{convert|1.3|km|mi|abbr=off|adj=off}} from the coast.<ref>''PSC Comune di Rimini, Quadro Conoscitivo, Sistema Ambientale.

Rimini's ancient coastline was situated much farther inland: it gradually shifted outward over centuries, with new land developed throughout the 20th century.<ref name="coastevolution">{{cite book |last1=Gambolati |first1=G. |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/300046774 |title=CENAS: Coastline Evolution of the Upper Adriatic Sea due to Sea Level Rise and Natural and Anthropogenic Land Subsidence |last2=Giunta |first2=G. |last3=Putti |first3=M. |last4=Teatini |first4=P. |last5=Tomasi |first5=L. |last6=Betti |first6=I. |last7=Morelli |first7=M. |last8=Berlamont |first8=J. |last9=De Backer |first9=K. |date=1998 |isbn=978-94-011-5147-4 |series=Water Science and Technology Library |volume=28 |pages=1–34 |chapter=Coastal Evolution of the Upper Adriatic Sea due to Sea Level Rise and Natural and Anthropic Land Subsidence |doi=10.1007/978-94-011-5147-4_1 |issn=0921-092X |last10=Decouttere |first10=C. |last11=Monbaliu |first11=J. |last12=Yu |first12=C.S. |last13=Brøker |first13=I. |last14=Christensen |first14=E.D. |last15=Elfrink |first15=B. |last16=Dante |first16=A. |last17=Gonella |first17=M.}}</ref>
