Location Details

The 75-Million-Year-Old Shell Cemetery is near the seaside in Ban Laem Pho, northeast of the national park. It contains fossilized remains of shells from shellfish, which are about 2 centimeters long. These shells fuse with salt water, transforming them into layers of limestone and shale. The age of the Shell Cemetery is estimated to be around 40 to 20 million years.

There are a total of three viewpoints within the 75-Million-Year-Old Shell Cemetery:

"Laem Pho 1" is situated west of the tourist service center.
"Laem Pho 2" is located within the tourist service center area.
"Laem Pho 3" is positioned towards the east, approximately 1 kilometer away from the tourist service center.
