Summary: This research covers the coastal morphological changes that are affecting both the locals and the building nearby at Pantai Teluk Nipah, Pulau Pangkor. Ever since the storm event that occurred at the end of November 2017 at Pantai Teluk Nipah, the Pantai Teluk Nipah is more venerable to erosion by various factor and one of which is longshore sediment transport. The aim of the study is to select the suitable empirical formula to predict and determine the longshore sediment transport rate at Pantai Teluk Nipah. In order to select the suitable empirical formula, the measured LSTR has to be computed by performing site sampling at Pantai Teluk Nipah. data collection process involved collecting of the sediment samples, beach properties and hydrodynamics from the location. Site sampling at Pantai Teluk Nipah commence on 22 September 2020 till 24 September 2020. Three streamer traps were used for the collection of the sediment samples. These streamer traps were deployed at the surf zone of Pantai Teluk Nipah for sample collection.
