Visited this place on a day in August and was extremely disappointed to find that the tide didn't come in until 7:30 PM! The kids were left with a beach that didn't even have clear sand; it was all black underneath and not soft enough to play in. With no water and the day being very hot, it was a letdown. However, the scenery nearby was pleasant, especially around the lake with swan and flamingo boat rides. The boat rides cost £15 for 30 minutes (you have to time yourself on a mobile) and accommodate only 4-5 people at a time. Two people need to paddle with their feet, which can get a bit tiring. There are also other boats on the opposite side that charge £5 for adults and £4 for children each. Overall, it's a nice place for a stroll, but if there's no tide, I wouldn't recommend bringing your children!
Peaceful and conveniently accessible. Located away from the town, it's quiet and serene. Free parking is available along the roadside, right next to the dunes. Please keep it tidy and clean for the sake of future generations.
The main strip is quite enjoyable, especially if the weather is in your favor. It's a vibrant area, particularly when stag and hen parties are happening. While the water may not seem very appealing, there's a lot of other activities to keep you entertained. You can find rides, attractions, arcades, and plenty of food and drink options.
Hvilken smuk strand! Du har mulighed for at parkere direkte på stranden for £10, eller du kan vælge at parkere på en nærliggende lille parkeringsplads, lidt længere oppe mod Ainsdale og Birkdale Sandhills LNR ved Sand Hills Nature Trail. Parkeringspladsen fungerer på et betal-og-vis system, og det kostede os £2.10 for 5 timer. Stranden er velholdt, med masser af rene offentlige toiletter tilgængelige. Vandet og sandet er helt fantastisk.
