About this beach

The bathing water is situated on the north west coast of England, just west of Liverpool. It has a wide expanse of sand with a shallow profile to the Mersey Estuary. There are sea defences (a sea wall and a rock buffer extending between Fort Perch Rock and the Floral Pavilion Theatre) at the back of the beach with car parking behind; depending on tide height the beach is sometimes entirely covered at high water.
