Beach description
The coastline is covered with plates up to 40 cm thick from the fossilized remains of ancient mollusks. Slabs formed millions years ago are perfectly rolled and polished by sea and wind. On the beach there are columns, reminding of tombstones, with signs that list the species of mollusks.
Park is very popular among tourists. It is especially crowded at the weekend. In memory of unusual place, you can buy souvenirs made of shells and jewelry made of natural pearls in a tent in the Park. Fossil Shell is better to visit at low tide, when you can see most of the plates.
