This remarkable marine shoreline is dominated by wave-worn, rounded to subrounded basalt cobbles. The adjacent cliffs are composed of the Ginkgo Flow, a Miocene flood basalt unit in the Frenchman Springs Member of the Columbia River Basalt Group. The Ginkgo Flow dates to the Middle Miocene (15.3 to 15.6 Ma).
