Cabel Sasser

we went to a short beach called “short beach”, and i don’t know if i’ve ever been on beach that’s all rocks instead of sand

the sound the rocks made as the water retreats and the stones shift and collide sounded like soft crackling thunder to me. i was grateful to discover a new sound

@cabel There is a beach like this in Hana, Hawaii (Maui). You can hear this same sound from a few of the rental properties there... it's a great sleep aid.

@cabel The sound of the rocks underwater is amazing 😀
England has some great shingle/pebble beaches.

@cabel This is from Gloucester, MA. We call the stones “popples”. I recorded this in 2023. It’s SO COOL sounding. The video doesn’t do it justice.

@cabel All rock or mostly rock beaches are prevalent in the Puget Sound area — but without the stronger ocean waves you don't get that sound!

@cabel uncanny!

@cabel I live in Brighton UK and our beaches are rocks. I prefer it to sand because it doesn't get EVERYWHERE.

@cabel last september i visited nice, france for the first time and it was my first experience of a pebble beach. and while the sea was super calm, and the waves were tiny, they still sounded like in your video!

@cabel This is one of our favorite places in Oregon! And, yes, the sound of the tide on gravel beaches like that is mesmerizing.

@cabel Only one time after a massive storm in San Diego, all of Torrey Pines beach was gone and stones were in it’s place😳

Then I came to Japan, and many beaches are made of tangerine-sized stones.

In Itoigawa, near Niigata City, the river washes down jade, and people pick through literal miles of stones looking one tiny shiny green lump. 🫒

It is part of a UNESCO geo park!
