What visitors say

Cathy Âû Withnell

We are regular beach combers, and love to come in here to look at the little display, and have got lucky enough to talk with an expert who showed us a fantastic collection of fossils and sharks teeth. We park down the road where its free, and make the walk up. Good toilets, a cafe and a gift shop, with friendly staff make this 5 stars.

Been here before as we love hunting for fossils and other interesting things on the beach. We went on 21.8.23 for the fissil day and felt I had to review. The two gentlemen sharing their fossil collections and knowledge were brilliant. They were so patient with my children's questions and they were keen to engage and help. They were even attentive when my children came back to share their finds (consisting largely of lumps of flint). The two men gave extra information and were so e thusiastic about even the smallest real fossil. Thank you so much. The staff in the cafe were also lovely.

Best place to come for a nice drink after a fossil hunt. Lots of info on the area and samples of fossil finds. Lots to learn and enjoy. Sharks teeth we found on the beach.

Very friendly and polite staff, fully accessible to wheelchair users. A gift shop and very reasonably priced cafe with good quality food. Lots of educational information available and activities to book for the future.
