The coastal zone of the Gaza strip, which is 42 km long and varies between 6 and 12 km wide, is overlain by Pleistocene–Holocene sediments that have alternating stratified calcareous sandstone (locally named as Kurkar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurkar ) and red-brown layers (locally named as Hamra). The topography of the coastal plain is determined by the exposure of two aeolian Kurkar ridges running NE–SW, parallel to the Mediterranean coastline, separated by a depression containing alluvial deposits. These two ridges are known as the Sheikh Ejlin Ridge, which extends up to the current coastline in the west, and the Al Montar Ridge, running near the armistice line in the east.

The bulk of the coastal sediments consists of sand together with additional calcareous materials and aeolian and alluvial silty and clayey materials. The sand is composed of quartz grains, with less than 5% of feldspar and heavy minerals.
