The A256 road runs parallel to the shore at Pegwell Bay. When you see the Viking ship, turn into one of the side roads away from the beach (e.g Mount Green Avenue). There is plenty of free parking in these roads.

From here walk towards the coast in the direction of the ship. Behind it there are steps down to the old hoverport – now unused. Walk diagonally across the concrete in the direction of the cliffs. Then walk about 300 or 400m towards the cliffs along the beach and you will start to encounter blocks of chalk. From here there is a kilometer or more of cliff section with fallen blocks. Fossils can be found along this whole section.

It is best to collect on a falling tide, but most of the section is accessible for up to 3 hours after low tide. There are quite a few points where it is possible to get cut off by the tide, however, so be careful.
