beach, water, reef
Reef is composed of granodiorite, an intrusive feldspar.
This is where a spur of the San Gregorio slip fault, which parallels the nearby airport runway, crosses the beach. The fault twists around under the seabed further north to where it runs right along the shore line at Devils Slide.
