My family lives down near Blue Anchor and we visit the beaches there most years. The cliffs are absolutely packed with fossils. My kids love it.

Unless you have one of dozens (hundreds?) of potential complications that can happen during childbirth and you don't make it to the hospital in time. They you've got a dead or severely brain damaged baby and a potentially dead mom. Totally worth it.

And the odds of making it to the hospital in time if you need an emergency c-section or start bleeding out are pretty slim.
