Alternative to jalonner

The English sentence, "...know that nearly 150 nudist beaches are dotted along the French coastline." uses dotted.  The translation uses 'jalonner'.  I was wondering if 'parsemer' could be used in this context.

Hi Frank, 

The verb 'parsemer' is indeed one of the possibilities given for 'dotted' as well as 'disséminer'.

Bonne Continuation !
