Ebber Rocks is a small island located off the coast of Cornwall, England. Situated in the Atlantic Ocean, it is part of the Isles of Scilly archipelago. The island is known for its rugged and rocky landscape, giving it its distinctive name.

Covering a land area of approximately 10 acres, Ebber Rocks is predominantly made up of granite, which is characteristic of the region. The island is uninhabited and lacks any significant vegetation, with only a few hardy plants managing to survive in the harsh coastal environment.

Despite its small size, Ebber Rocks boasts a rich diversity of marine life. The surrounding waters are teeming with a variety of fish species, making it a popular spot for fishing enthusiasts. The island is also home to an array of seabirds, including gulls, cormorants, and puffins, which nest on the rocky cliffs.

Access to Ebber Rocks is limited due to its remote location and treacherous waters. However, it can be reached by boat during low tide, providing an opportunity for visitors to explore its rocky shores and observe the wildlife. The island's isolation and rugged beauty make it a popular destination for nature lovers and photographers looking to capture its unique charm.

Overall, Ebber Rocks offers a glimpse into the raw and untamed beauty of Cornwall's coastline. Its rocky terrain, diverse marine life, and remote location make it a captivating destination for those seeking an off-the-beaten-path adventure.
