Based on the Landsat remote sensing data, this paper had monitored the coastline changes of Xiamen city in recent 20 years. By extracting the coastline vector data of 1999, 2005, 2011 and 2017 respectively, the spatio-temporal characteristics of coastline changes on coastline length, change rate and land change area were analyzed, and the main driving factors were analyzed combined with the land use changes in the coastal swing area. The results show that: the total length of Xiamen's coastline increased from 235.16 km to 264.98 km during 1999-2017, and the land area increased from 1558.84 km2 to 1594.29 km2. The most significant changes occurred in Xiang'an district and Huli district with the coastline length increased by 16.38% during 2011-2017 and 22.14% during 1999-2005 respectively, while the changes were not very conspicuous in other areas. According to the land use changes in the coastal areas, the coastline changes in Xiamen City were mainly related to the expansion of construction land and port constructions in Haicang district, Xiang'an district and Huli district, as well as the expansion of aquaculture in the Xiang'an district.
