A lot of fossils are exposed by the road cut leading from Highway 19 to 19A and the Buckley Bay ferry terminal.

While the fossils are interesting and easy to find, you have to be careful as the walls of the road cut are somewhat unstable and there’s nowhere along the cut to safely pull off the road. Your best bet is to park uphill in the rest area or downhill at the ferry terminal.
