How to Find Marloes Sands
Grid Reference
British National Grid
SM 78508 09048
Degrees
51.73625°N, 5.20926°W



Parking can be found at the Marloes Sands National Trust car park. This costs £3 for cars and there is a manned booth here where you pay. The attendant is happy to provide information on the location as well as an informative leaflet.

From the car park, walk to your left along the road and after about 100m you will come across a sign pointing to the right, which reads ‘Beach 700m’. Follow this footpath downhill and you will reach the beach.

Many of the Rock layers at Marloes Sands are barren but when the fossiliferous ones are located you should be able to observe many in situ fossils and also collect from areas of scree.
