Further, they are stimulator of change over time. I think in your mind is receding shoreline, therefore better use historical large scale maps and remote sensing images available since 1970s. Overlay analysis will help you to detect change in coastline, using several such maps or images you will be able to workout rates of change for several small sections. These rates over different period can be statistically modelled through curve fitting with certain convention. On the basis of extrapolated rates of change in coastline for several section, you will be able to construct future scenario of coastline.
The software packages you mentioned aim at modeling land cover change. I think that coestline change detection involve quite different skills such as remote sensing image processing

coastline evolution and changes are complex as you will not be simply integrating the two images to get the changed vectors. Here if tidal variation is huge that is to be corrected, often based on tide level the spectral signatures (due to saturation) are very different as well.
