Puget Sound Beaches ... not really just gravel, but sand, broken shell, and occasionally a boulder the size of a large truck.

Shore Acres
More photos of the marine terrace. More steeply dipping sedimentary rocks planed flat on top by waves 80,000 years ago and then subsequently covered by a thin layer of beach and dune deposits. Then gradually lifted 80-100' by plate tectonics and, much more recently, carved into seacliffs and sea stacks.
