 There are two different location points at Bowleaze Cove It is possible to walk from one point to the next however, due to the long distance involved, it is best to concentrate on one end.

 Redcliff point is best accessed from Weymouth, parking at the end of the 'Bowleaze Coveway' road and walking East, Redcliff point is excellent for Oxford Clay fossils.

 An Alternative route, ideal for east of Redcliff point, is that of Osmington Mills, this is best accessed by parking at the bottom of the road at Osmington Mills, off the A353. Once on the beach, walk west. Both Black Head and Bran Point will be looked at along this stretch of coastline.
