607 Natural Seawall

Title: Natural Seawall in bold; background image of rocky coastline.

Many of Maine’s beaches are covered with cobblestones, but here powerful ocean storms have assembled them into a massive seawall. As the waves break, they scour rocks from the base of the beach and carry them up on the shore. As the tide rises, the waves pile the stones higher and higher. When the tide recedes it leaves the larger, heavier stones at the top and drops the smaller, lighter stones down the slope.
