This gravel beach ridge marks the shoreline as it was approximately 2,300 years ago. Beyond this, there are two additional gravel beach ridges: one representing the shoreline prior to the 8.2 magnitude earthquake in 1855, and the other being the current coastline visible in the distance which has been there since the 1855 earthquake.
