Location Information

	(Suitable for Children) Although this location is suitable for children. Children must be told to keep away from the mud flaps and soft clay area. Fossils can only be found during scouring conditions when the clay is exposed on the foreshore.
	Bognor is easy to get to, not too far to walk to, and is very good for families and children.
	Foreshore Fossils can only be found during scouring conditions when the clay is exposed on the foreshore.
