Kilve beach is made up of wave cut platforms of oil-bearing shale and lias which contains numerous fossils. If you take a walk on the exposed bedrock, you're very likely to see ammonites.

The beach of Kilve lies about halfway between Minehead and Bridgwater in the heart of the Quantocks. The shoreline is mostly rocky with plenty of rockpools to explore towards low tide. One of the best features of Kilve beach is the large grassy area behind the beach which is ideal for picnics.
