Customer Reviews
This was a fantastic site to see. The dinosaur footprint is still very visually distinctive. Found the footprint fairly easily, down towards the right of the rocks. There is not much parking at the beach.
A favorite site not only for fans of the genre and geologists. A place where you can actually see dinosaur footprints. When we arrived, we saw hikers looking and not finding any. But once you pay attention, you see lots of footprints in what was the Jurassic mud. Highly recommended. The road reaches right above the seashore.
Parking is good but limited. Worth going at low tide. As soon as you go down the ramp from the car park, turn right towards the rocks. Look at the flat rock areas. There is a clear foot print close to the ramp (maybe within 10m). The other footprints are less defined, often covered by seaweed or sand.
