Pescadero4.jpg - Sea cliffs of eroding Quaternary marine terrace deposits
overlie the bedrock of Pigeon Point Formation. At the base of the sea cliff
is a cobble beach that accumulates during high seas (usually winter storms).
During the calmer summer months sand has an opportunity to accumulate on
the beach. |
