Latest reviews on Cheshire West's beaches

Leasowe Beach
8 Evelyn Lark

This beach is a fantastic and safe spot for walking your dog. It's clean and beautiful, but just be aware that there are no restroom facilities, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars. On weekends, a coffee van now sets up in the beachside car park. Keep in mind that it can get extremely crowded on weekends, especially on Sunday mornings.

Thurstaston Beach

Thurstaston cliffs can be compared to the Devon cliffs of the northwest, albeit on a smaller scale. While many people flock to the overrated and dull Crosby beach or the pleasant yet crowded northern beaches of Wirral, as well as the areas around Prestatyn/Rhyl, the western part of Wirral remains relatively uncrowded. The steep and winding stairs that lead to the top of the cliffs, along with the breathtaking views of Wales, excellent facilities, and numerous benches, left me in awe. Thurstaston beach is truly a remarkable place, and I am already looking forward to my next visit. However, next time I plan to explore the bike routes in the surrounding area.

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

The hottest month of the region is August - air temperature during this time warms up to 17.7°C and water up to 16.1°C. The coldest month is January - air temperature drops to 8.1°C and water to 9.3°C.
