The sea often reaches the base of the two small cliffs at high tide, you should ensure you check tide times. Near the fish beds there is a long stretch of high seawall with no access, be sure to return in good time.

The salt marsh's and mud plains can be dangerous, stick to the edge of the bay by walking round alongside the seaward side of the seawall.

Some of the cliffs are very high and often crumble, take care and avoid searching where cliffs are overhanging or appear unstable.

1. Always tell someone where you are going and when you expect to be back.

2. If using a hammer, pick or chisel, always wear safety goggles.

3. Always wear a hard hat if close to a cliff face.

4. Check access rights before you enter this location.

5. Take food and drink

6. Ensure you always take a mobile phone

7. Keep children away from cliff faces and mudflats, ensure you keep an eye on your children at all times.

8. DO NOT RISK tides if you do not know the times, ensure you are aware of tide times before you visit a location.

9. Take plenty of wrapping paper, you never know when you may make that all important find.

1. Always REPORT important finds to museums or related organisations.

2. Please LOOK AFTER your fossils, clean them and preserve them.

3. If you make an important discovery and do not have the correct equipment, or the find is too large. DO NOT RISK destroying the fossil, contact your local museum or organisation for help and assistance.

4. PLEASE leave those fossils which are impossible to get out of rock, for others to see instead of destroying it. A photograph is much better.

5. PLEASE accept, understand and obey any SSSI rules, they are there to protect the geology for future generations.
