    Besides exhibiting an erosion trend for decades, the NW coastal zone of Portugal, since the
    end of 20th century, was the stage of a new phenomenon. Between Lima and C{\'a}vado rivers, previously
    dissipative, sandy beaches transformed in mixed sand-gravel beaches with gravelly beach cusps (by the
    end of 80{\textquoteright}s) and progressively convert in entire reflective gravel beaches (since 2000), though
    maintaining the inherited dune systems on their backshore. This beach is being monitored since 2013
    using DGPS, aerophotogrametic surveys and expedite gravel size characterization. Based on these
    monitoring results a modeling work was carried out to simulate the beach morphodynamics, applying
    XBeach-G software. The model was able to simulate the beach morphodynamics.
