Birchington is generally a poorly fossiliferous location but with patience some specimens can be collected. Finds include Echinocorys, Micraster and Conulus urchins as well as bivalves, sponges and belemnites.
Echinoids
Park on Cliff Road at Birchington, next to one of the numerous places where the beach can be accessed. From the promenade find steps down to the foreshore. Once on the foreshore search any exposed chalk for fossils. You can park right next to the beach and walk down a path through the low cliffs onto a promenade above the foreshore. From here you can access the wave cut platform via steps. Children should be supervised. The chalk can also be slippery where covered in weed.
