Brook Beach is the go-to destination for kite surfers, fossil hunters and dog walkers. This pretty beach is a stoney and sandy mix so if you go in the sea here sea shoes are a good idea.
The walk down to Brook Beach is fairly steep, and there are installed steps to help visitors down from the pathway to the beach itself.
Stretching for over a mile, if you turn right at the bottom of the steps, towards Hanover Point, you may be lucky enough to spot the fossilised dinosaur footprints as the tide goes out. What looks like three-toed rocks are actually the fossilised prints of Iguanodons.
Beachcombing along this stretch during the winter months is popular with locals and visitors alike. Will you be lucky enough to find your own fossil to take home? Brook Beach flows into Compton Bay, and where the steps come down from Compton car park, dogs are no longer welcome along the seafront during the summer months.
