Figure 16. Pocket beach made of smooth, rounded pebbles and cobbles. Most of the cobbles are light gray rock derived from the Kittery Formation, although some stones of granite and other rock types are mixed in. Notice the ridges (berms) at certain elevations, produced by storm waves. The bluff at the head of the beach is eroding, providing sediment to the beach.
