An amazing example of public art, these statues (100 of them) stretch along Crosby beach for 3 kilometres and out to sea for one kilometre. Go there at any time of day, but make sure you check the tides - you can't see any of them at high tide. It is atmospheric and beautiful, but at the same time down to earth - it's great to see whole families having picnics next to one of the figures and kids playing around them.

Updates
The statues are only submerged on the very highest tides (when high water is midday or midnight); some water does add to the dramatic effect and increases the prospect of passing shipping as a backdrop.
