Cliffs, beach and boats at Beer, Devon


The Jurassic Coast is a World Heritage Site that stretches 96 miles from Exmouth, Devon to Studland Bay, Dorset. It is renowned for its cliff exposures of almost continuous geology from the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, and particularly the range of fossils associated with those eras. Some of the earliest palaeontology took place on this coast. The cliffs at Beer feature chalk of the Cretaceous period.

The commercial fishing at Beer seems to feature a wide range of English Channel fish and shellfish.
