SAFETY AND DANGERS

Common sense when collecting at all locations should be taken and knowledge of tide times should always be noted. This part of the coastline is very dangerous for tidal conditions, make sure you return before the tide turns. Keep away from the base of the cliffs, rock falls are very common. Hard Hats are recommended.
