It's a rock that's been holed by boring clams: https://carnegiemnh.org/not-boring-clams/

If you want to know what kind or rock it is, I can't help you there.

Wow, that is fascinating! I wanted to know why it looks the way it does, and this answers my question. Thank you! Solved!

You're welcome. Used to see rocks like that all the time when I lived at the beach, sometimes with the clam shells still embedded.
