In any case, do not forget about the availability of public transport and taxis.

User reviews

"I enjoy visiting this beach for the day from Liverpool. There are plenty of free parking options nearby. The beach is wheelchair accessible and the side with the boating lake is usually quieter and less windy near the dunes. There is also a duck pond with swans and a spacious green grassy area."

Ren Zal

"The Blitz Beach is more captivating than the sandy one. Be sure to visit it next time you're in the area."
