Best beach in the north-west. Make sure you check for a low tide or call the Wirral Ranger service.
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!
You can walk from West Kirkby Merseyrail station to the marina, where you will see the three islands out in the Dee estuary. Just make sure to walk to Big Eye first rather than towards Hilbre, thereby avoiding any deep water. The picnic can always be picked up at the supermarket next to the marina as well!
Better still, get your picnic made up at the Sweet Pea cafe near the station. It has the best coffee on the Wirral too. It's West Kirby, not Kirkby. Oh yes. This beach and surrounding coastline is just gorgeous. Thank you for reminding me. Crosby beach can be reached by foot from Hall Road railway station,or Waterloo Train Station and Crosby Train Station. It is about 10 minutes walk from the stations and where the Marina begins. Crosby Beach is located over the sand dunes.
