Why do pebbles go smaller the closer you are to the sea?
This is to do with tide patterns and percolation. A wave's swash (wave going up the beach) is very powerful and has enough power to carry large pebbles up the beach. However on a pebble beach, a lot of the waves energy is lost filling the gaps in the pebbles. All those small spaces mean the wave loses power and its backwash (wave going back down the beach) is much weaker than its swash. Only the smaller pebbles can be pulled back down the beach. This leaves the larger pebbles further up the beach.
