Fantastic beach for fossil hunting, but beware of the landslides! Beautiful bay, with facilities, cafe and shop. Parking is paid for at the machine (or by parking app) and might be more expensive than the large carpark, but is contiguous with the sand and water. There's a tap with free water for dogs and/or wetsuits etc to wash off the salt. If you are unsteady on your feet be aware of pebbles in the carpark which may affect your stability. Not a particularly touristy place, more locals really in my humble opinion, but friendly and people seem to be helpful. You can hire various instructors, lessons, boat charters etc to enhance your experience. Esther (with her paddle boarding, fitness and yoga) is worthy of a mention! Whilst here you might feel adventurous and walk/climb up Golden Cap, the highest point in southern England, whose views are spectacular. You won't be disappointed!

Not too busy. There is plenty of parking at £6 for the day. Great for walking or fossil hunting. Lovely little cafe and public toilets available.

Parking is rather pricey if you want more than a couple of hours...but that can easily be used up after hunting for fossils. Great little finds and friendly people all getting stuck into hunting for fossils or stones!

Absolutely beautiful beach. Wild and rugged. Dog friendly. A happy place

Spent the afternoon wandering up and down the beach enjoying the fresh air looking for fossils. Although we didn't find much it was still very entertaining. Go when the tide is receding as it is exposing new stuff all the time and be aware that the cliffs can be unstable. Good visitor centre, car parks and toilets available.
