A renowned Australian marine fossil coast with Miocene-Pliocene shark and marine vertebrate material in wave-worked lag zones. The famous Beaumaris fossil cliff produces Carcharodon lineage teeth, penguin bones, and dwarf-whale fragments. Companion site to the Surf Coast's Jan Juc / Bird Rock — both are part of Victoria's classic shark-tooth itinerary.
Solid hunting day. Moderate NW winds (10 mph); seas 2–3 ft, some stir.
Next 3 days: Mon is the pick (82); today runs cooler at 60.
This site does not depend on a tidal low. Hunt during the coolest, brightest part of the day and use the wind and conditions notes below.
Impact on visibility and stir-up over the next 5 days.
The Hunt Score blends tide range, lunar phase, daylight timing, recent stir, wind setup, and surf.
Solid. Reliable productivity expected.
We are deliberate about which factors to include. These are not currently in the model:
If you think we should add one of these, log a hunt with notes — every rated outcome helps us decide which signals actually predict tooth count.
Scan coarse lag lines and low-tide gravel concentrations after energetic swell windows. The cliff base at Table Rock and Beaumaris Beach is the classic productive zone.
Public foreshore access. The Beaumaris Bay Fossil Site is a Geological Site of Significance — surface collecting only, no digging or hammering of the cliff.
Victorian heritage law: surface fossils on the foreshore can be collected for personal interest but significant scientific specimens should be reported to Museums Victoria. Respect Geological Site of Significance status.
Trophy = headline find · Rare = real score · Uncommon = some trips · Common = most trips.
The beachcomber's bonus round — what else the geology gives up.
