Where to look for Fossils at Manorbier Bay?

(The stream) - 2007

On a rainy day fossils can be found along the entire width of the back of the bay as it is easy to distinguish the fossils from their matrix when wet. On a dry day the stream is an excellent place to look. Its bed is pebbly and practically all of the dark grey rocks it contains will have some fossils showing on their surfaces.

While visiting this location it is worth taking the cliff top path to the south and walking a few hundred meters along its length. Some spectacular views of the near vertical strata of this area can be seen within a short distance of the beach.

Those supervising young children and therefore confined to the beach are still afforded an excellent and dramatic view of the strata when looking west from the north side of the bay.
