This is described by Natural England as a "nationally important" site, as it is the type locality for the Anglian glaciation around 450,000 years ago. The Anglian was the most extreme ice age of the Pleistocene epoch. The site displays the complete Anglian sequence and its relation to the preceding Cromerian stage.^[5]

Below the site is a public beach. Corton Beach was designated a naturist beach in the 1970s.^[6][7]
