Set out from the marina from West Kirkby towards Big Eye (a small island off the coast) - wellies or bare feet best, and then walk towards Little Eye. On arrival is a small beach that is almost always sheltered from the wind, with caves and beautiful sandstone rocks.

It is the ideal place for a picnic and little children can play here for hours - just remember to leave on time before the high tide arrives! Of course you can always saunter on to Hilbre and look at birds, seals and the lifeboat station. A great day out for the kids!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18044 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17581
Albert Dock is very difficult to reach at the present and the new main bus station is virtually out of use because most of the buses and passengers can't get there. You won't be seeing the river from the Pier Head because it is closed off for construction of a canal right in front of the landmark riverfront buildings, which also means that they cannot be seen in their proper perspective.

It's a shame but I'm posting this warning because too many people are raising false expectations of the 'experience' to be had wandering the city and to disappoint visitors' expectations is not clever.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17581 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17561 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17561 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17550
