About this beach
The bathing water is situated on the north west coast of England, on the Wirral; sitting between New Brighton Beach to the east and Moreton Beach to the west. It has a wide expanse of sand with a shallow profile to Liverpool Bay. There are sea defences (concrete steps and banking) at the back of the beach with car parking behind, at a regular height high tide the sea does not extend to the concrete banking.
