Freshwater East bay is a great location for the whole family. The sandy beach is ideal for children and as it is so large it is unlikely to become crowded even in the height of summer. Fossils are fairly abundant and are easy to find.
A few boulders on the west side of the bay contain Silurian fossils. Pebbles and cobbles near the stream can be investigated in search of Carboniferous brachiopods and corals.
(Suitable for Children)
This location is an excellent one to take the whole family to. There is large, sandy beach that kids will love as well as a stream and the clear blue Pembrokeshire sea to paddle in.
Parking is within a short distance of the beach. There are no access restrictions.
Cliff and Foreshore
Fossils are found within rocks transported by the stream. These are spread over a fairly wide area.
