pebbled beach

Stone-covered coastal stretch

A pebbled beach is a shoreline covered with small, smooth stones rather than sand.

The pebbles are typically rounded by water action over time.

Such beaches are common along certain coastlines and create a distinctive crunching sound underfoot: We walked along the pebbled beach, stones clicking beneath our shoes.
