Location<\/h3>\n

The famous cliffs are packed full of fossils from the Jurassic period which is where the coast gets its name from! And just a stones-throw from the Jurassic coast are actual dinosaur footprints from 145 million years ago! People flock to the Jurassic Coast each year as it is a beautiful location with a 95-mile stretch of coast with 185 million years <\/strong>worth of the Earth’s history.<\/p>\n

Keep your eye out for Durdle Door! This famous limestone arch has been formed over the last 10,000 years! There’s no wonder it is such a popular location for families.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in weekend holidays or day trips it’s advised that the Jurassic Cost takes 3 full days to explore.<\/p>\n

Don’t just stick to the sand and cliffs, launch into the sea! Re-enact a mermaid fantasy by swimming into hidden caverns or float under the arches. Dive deep and search for underwater reefs – the waters are crystal clear so this should be easy!<\/p>\n
