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.

Talacre Beach
10 Abigail Feltham

This was my first time at this beach and I absolutely enjoyed it. There are designated areas for walking along the coast paths, which is great for those who enjoy it. Additionally, there are plenty of beautiful scenery and opportunities for taking photos. With ice cream shops nearby, it's a perfect day out for families. The beach is spacious and I believe many people will have a great time here. I'm already excited for my next visit.

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.

Ruislip lido beach
10 Niral Adavedi

This beach is a fantastic spot for families and children to have a great time. It features a lovely, small sandy beach and even offers a steam train ride. You're welcome to bring along beach toys like spades and buckets for the kids to play with. Additionally, young children can have a blast riding their bicycles. There's also a designated area for kids to play and a delightful eatery. Adults can enjoy a leisurely walk or jog around the park. Just keep in mind that parking is limited to a maximum of three hours per day.

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.

Rhyl Beach
