Latest reviews on Blackburn's beaches

Formby Beach
8 Landon Jex

We parked at the car park at Formby Point and took a short stroll to reach the beach. The beach is absolutely beautiful, stretching out as far as the eye can see. It was a delightful experience walking on the beach, and the sand dunes added an extra element of fun. No matter your age, you can still enjoy climbing to the top and sliding down the dunes. I highly recommend visiting Formby Beach for a great time.

Crosby Beach
10 Renzo Harper

This beach is truly unique. With around 100 iron statues scattered throughout the beach and water, and the Liverpool docks in the background, the scenery is absolutely stunning. It's a perfect spot for a leisurely walk or to let the kids run around and burn off some energy.

Fleetwood Beach
10 Zylophix Vex

The sandy and gravel beach is a nice spot to relax for a bit. It may not be the most amazing beach ever, but the soft sand and gravel offer some comfort. The beach was clean enough, and the water was good for swimming. It's a peaceful place to spend a day by the water.

Ainsdale Beach
10 Shara Evergreen

What a beautiful beach! You have the option to park directly on the beach for £10, or you can choose to park at a nearby small carpark, a bit further up towards the Ainsdale and Birkdale Sandhills LNR at the Sand Hills Nature Trail. The carpark operates on a pay and display system, and it cost us £2.10 for 5 hours. The beach is well-maintained, with plenty of clean public toilets available. The water and sand are absolutely gorgeous.
