Access is poor, it is a long walk down a steep cliff path. Not suitable for anyone with walking difficulties or small children. This area has been listed as a danger zone due to cliff falls. Hammering anywhere near the cliffs could result in starting a cliff fall and injury. Keep your distance.

Look for fossils among the boulders and along the foreshore. By doing this you are helping protect the cliffs from erosion. Fossils can be found all year round at Port Mulgrave. Look for nodules of pale grey rock which often contain complete ammonites when cracked open. Belemnites and fossilised shells can also be found along the foreshore. Many of the best fossils can be found in among the latest cliff falls but these are the most dangerous areas to search. Sifting through the scree slopes can yield some good and often larger specimens.
