A semi-private cliff stretch with day-pass access. Famous for prolific Hemipristis and the occasional sizable meg fragment.
Solid hunting day. Best window opens around the 9:55 AM low (0.7 ft). Moderate E winds (8 mph). Spring tide cycle adds a little extra range.
Next 3 days: Next few days look steady — all good-range. Pick whatever fits your schedule.
Plan around the good low-tide window. Cliff site — continuous erosion baseline · low tide during daylight · spring tide · best low 59.
Impact on visibility and stir-up over the next 5 days.
Cliff sites score from a baseline plus recent storm stir, daylight low tide timing, wind exposure, and seasonal events (only when storms are actually shedding cliff material).
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.
Late winter freeze-thaw cycles destabilize the Chesapeake Group cliffs. March–early May historically produces the most fresh fall material on the beaches at Brownie's, Matoaka, and Westmoreland.
Wrack-line walking + light sifting at the cliff base (NEVER digging into the cliff).
Day-pass fee at the gate (cash). Limited weekday hours; check ahead.
Beach surface collecting on day pass; respect cliff regulations.
Trophy = headline find · Rare = real score · Uncommon = some trips · Common = most trips.
The beachcomber's bonus round — what else the geology gives up.
