Hmm, I don’t think so…the holes were a lot bigger than the ones in that photo, and the rocks looked even more spongelike. To my amateur eye, the holes looked like they’d been formed by water, except that the holes were very large and round. I didn’t get that close (the trail was on the edge of a cliff, quite a ways above the beach) - hopefully the zoomed photos will be clear enough.

How timely - I just got back from a beach on Saturna Island, at which I found some rocks that looked like sponges - lots of holes of various sizes along the side. I took photos, and plan to post them, and solicit insight from you, as soon as I have my computer back from the shop. Where there is expertise on the internet, there is demand.

That was an awesome Friday rock blog. In fact, I was especially interested because it was very detailed but still in plainspeak. I should go back to school for geology, rocks are really quite sexy in fact.
