A Shingle Beach Or Beach Stone Royalty-Free Stock Photo

A shingle beach also referred to as rocky beach or pebble beach is a beach which is armoured with pebbles or small- to medium-sized cobbles as opposed to fine sand. Typically, the stone composition may grade from characteristic sizes ranging from 2 to 200 millimetres diameter. While this beach landform is most commonly found in Europe, examples are found in Bahrain, North America and in a number of other world regions, such as the east coast of New Zealand`s South Island, where they are associated with the shingle fans of braided rivers.
