Beautiful beach, you can spend hours here searching for fossils (depending on the tide). Cliffs are crumbly so don't go too close. Car parking is 100 yards away on approach road to holiday park, probably space for 6 cars. There are steps down to the beach but these probably aren't manageable for anyone with restricted mobility - at least 5 minutes walk down and 10 back up, steep in places and would be muddy in wet weather. So perhaps accessibility not fantastic.

Great beach for fossil hunting on. Be careful with tides though and check in advance. The steps to get down are a little precarious so take it easy with children. If you are keen eyed enough you might find some decent fossils, mainly Ammonites. Remember it's a beach and there are no loos close by. There is a campsite at the top of the steps but they don't have public loos.

The climb down is very steep so be warned. Be very careful as the tide comes in rather fast and if you are in the wrong place you can very easily be cut off. Thete are fossils and with an eagle eye you can pick up some rather nice fossils.

Brilliance lovely little beach quite pebbly and rovky, Not easy access for small children the climb up and down is quite steep and bumpy there are some steps part way down but anyone with any issue with walking this is not for you. You can find all types of fossils here amonites belamites and we found some lumps of jet in fossilised tree There is a caravan sight at top of cliffs where you park with a shop, I advise taking a packed lunch with you if your down there all day as the back up and down is a bit of a killer. Mind when sat near the cliffs as they are still eroding and lumps of rock do fall...
