Specimens have been found on the beach at low tide. Access to the beach via the road from Escalles. There is a German WW2 gun emplacement (now sealed up) at the access point.
The cliffs to the east of this point are named "Cap Blanc-Nez", the village is Escalles, however both names have been used for what is essentially the same locality.
