Fantastic Fairlight

A February trip to Fairlight beach in the gloomy weather was full of brilliant discoveries and finds.

This is an area known for its dinosaur track discovery and fossils. There is also areas of submerged forest toward Pett Level.

The rocks on the foreshore are dotted with rock pools and eroded into mini banded canyons. There are so many lovey shells and coloured sands here too.

We discovered blennies under rocks, sea anemones galore, periwinkles , dog whelks, cuttlefish bones and lots more.

Fossil finds, possible plant fragments, shells and sponges. There are some brilliant banded iron stones and nodules . This is a really interesting spot.

The weather improved and the tide went out with golden sands looking gorgeous.

The cliffs are very crumbly and were falling when we were there so definitely a place to avoid the base of the cliff although a couple of dog walkers were extremely close and I wouldn’t do this .
