Some 155 million years ago the rock beds at Kimmeridge Bay formed the floor of a deep, tropical ocean. This location in Dorset now gives unparalleled insight into—and provides the name for—the Kimmeridgian Stage, a period of late Jurassic geological history. Famous for the abundance of fossils that can found here, Kimmeridge is also excellent for rockpooling and snorkelling; natural limestone ledges extend out into the bay, making it easy to view marine life in the shallow waters.
