tebing pantai


Explanation:
Menurut Oxford:

cliff (noun) a steep rock face, especially at the edge of the sea.

Karena batuan ini biasanya bagian dari landas benua/pulau (lihat ref mengenai pantai Wonosari, Gunung Kidul), saya pikir lebih tepat disebut tebing pantai.



Example sentence(s):
  • Pantai ini terletak di Desa Purwodadi, Kecamatan Tepus, berjarak sekitar 35 km dari Wonosari dengan prasarana jalan aspal sampai tebing pantai.

There are 235 Google hits on this term, many of which are advertising real estate in Bali. See also my note on 'permukaan tebing', which is also a good choice, with 2,685 Google hits.

neutral  ErichEko ⟹⭐: Hi Catherine: in other KudoZ question, the subject (he) squatted on a sandy beach. So, this must be some kind of steep rock near the sea instead of mountain.

  -> Dear Erich, as at Uluwatu, there is a very high cliff just behind the beach. It is not a karang, but rather a jurang. A coral reef is in the water, not on land.

Dari http://navigasi.net/goart.php?a=buuluwat, Tentang tebing karang Uluwatu
Pemandangan itu memang sungguh menakjubkan, sebuah pura terletak di atas tebing karang yang menjorok ke arah lautan lepas, seakan siap membelah gulungan ombak yang tak kenal lelah menghantamnya. Sungguh suatu hal yang aneh, mengapa hanya tonjolan bukit karang dengan pura yang terletak diatasnya tidak habis tergerus oleh ombak ? Sementara sisi karang yang lain sudah lelah tergerus ombak lautan lepas. Mungkinkah ada kekuatan mistis yang menjaganya sehingga tetap tegar menancap di garis pantai tanpa terlihat ada tanda-tanda erosi pantai yang berarti ?
