Access

Parking can be found at or near to Caim, which is at the most western tip of Anglesey. From here take the easternmost footpath that goes due north from the village. This will take you to the beach at a point just next to a headland. Fossils can be found both to the east and the west of this point. Many of the rocks are full of giant coral blocks, and we recommend that you take a camera and photograph these rather than trying to remove them.
