About this beach
The beach is at the top of the Wirral peninsula facing north westerly into Liverpool Bay. It has a gently sloping gradient of golden sand. On an average high tide the sea covers the beach up to the sea wall. A swathe of concrete Z-shaped buffers runs along a section of the lower sea wall.
