This habitat type includes shore ridges of coarse gravel and pebbles and rocky moraine shores, which are not normally reached by storm waves and where permanent vegetation is developing or has already developed. The stony banks form a natural extension of the drift lines (1210) in both time and space.
In Estonia, pebble beaches can be seen primarily near the klint and on the cliffed and carbonate rock coasts (at the Pakri Peninsula, Ninase and Pank cliffs in Saare County, etc.). Moraine shores are widespread mainly on the open coast in front of the North Estonian Klint – at the Pärispea Cape, Viimsi and Lohusalu peninsulas, but also on the west coast of Saaremaa island, the islands of the Väinameri Sea, and the northern part of the Gulf of Riga (at the Tõstamaa peninsula).olsaarel).
