Rocky coast

A rocky coast is a shoreline characterized by exposed rocks, cliffs, and rugged terrain rather than sandy beaches. These areas are shaped by powerful waves, strong winds, and the constant erosion of rock over time. The landscape often features tide pools, hidden coves, and steep cliffs, providing unique habitats for various marine life. Rocky coasts tend to be less suitable for swimming or boating but are rich in natural beauty and biodiversity. They are important ecologically, supporting specialized plants and animals, and are often popular spots for exploration, photography, and studying coastal geology.
