I haven't visited Kimmeridge Bay (5 miles west of Swanage) for many years so a return visit was long overdue. With a few hours to spare this afternoon we went for a look round and to do a bit of fossil spotting. This beach is amazing, there are fossils everywhere in the rock and as it was low tide when we first arrived we were able to see some enormous specimens on The Flats, some as big as 50cm across. For more information on Kimmeridge Bay see here
The view across the beach from the car park,
and in the other direction looking towards Clavell Tower.
You can easily spend a few hours exploring and mooching around on this beach.
Fascinating cliffs and rock strata.
Beautiful fossils.
Later in the afternoon it clouded over and the beach took on a more moody and grey look. I can thoroughly recommend a visit to Kimmeridge, it's a fascinating place.
