Yes. It is because of gravity that water seeks it's own level. That is why when it rains the rain flows to the lowest spot and most of it drains into the seas and oceans. Just as gravity makes dirt that has been thrown into the air settle back to the ground it makes water flow down the beach back into the sea.
