Crosby Coastal Park

Wonderful area to go and explore. The footpaths around the marine lake is flat & ideal for any accessibility needs making this a great place for everyone. Although access onto the beach is via sand dunes so not suitable for everyone.

The marine lake is a nice place to stand and watch the sunset. You can get some amazing photos on the right days.

Access to the area is super easy on public transport, Waterloo station is within a 10 minute walk and there are multiple bus stops nearby too.

Very dog & family friendly.

Love this coastal area. Each time you go for a walk there is always something different to see. I am so lucky to live 5 mins walk from the beach and my children live going for walks or playing on the beach.

If your not from the area then I really recommend parking up and just walk and lose yourself in the beautiful scenery. There is plenty of places to park in Crosby, you will to pay and display but its not extortionate like some places are.

Please be careful if you venture onto the beaches sinking sand and sandbanks can catch even the most experienced locals and can be dangerous.

I have wanted to visit Antony Gormly's wonderful sculptures on Crosby beach, for such a long time but I never came up this way until this week, to look after a friend's dogs. The installation entitled 'Another Place' is fabulous, magical, very thought provoking, I loved it. The statues are quite far apart. There are 100 in total. I couldn't see all of them as I have bad back pain and can't walk very far, but what I did see was just fantastic and well worth the wait. There are quite large car parks at either end of the beach but these fill quickly on summer days. The beach itself is approached down several steep steps and is not equipped for wheelchair users. It is sandy and great for families with young children. I don't know how safe it is to swim there, I didn't spot any red flags but the shallows would definitely be fine for paddling. Take a flask and sarnies, there were no nearby shops that I could see. There is a cafe somewhere, but too far from where I parked, to see it.

Reception staff very helpful.
Beware. Slope into water, extremely slippy concrete covered in algae. Didn't see any caution/warning signs anywhere.
Well kept lake and area clean & tidy.
Highly recommend water shoes, due to beach side having bottles, cans & disposable BBQs, and rubbish left strewn about.

Had a lovely little stop. Reasonable parking charges £1.90 up to 4 hours.
The grandchildren enjoyed the play/Park area and the ice cream £2.50.
Be careful feeding the birds if you have young children. The noise from them was a bit scary as they all descend. Will give that a miss next time.

Good flat path which went a fair distance. The stretch between the path and sea not very attractive sadly, sand dews on other side were ok .Good walk to blow the cobwebs away, and ideal for anyone with mobility issues I suspect.

Great place to have a gentle strolls and breath in the fresh air to help you sleep better :) Wonderful evening and very relaxing place, not to busy considering time of the year, always a great beach to see Antony Gormley ‘100 sculptors which are across the beach.

The beach is each to walk on in most places but do be careful where it’s wet and it’s like sinking sand in parts.

Dog / Pram / wheelchair/ friendly.

Would of loved to take the drone up to capture the sunset but too many people around to do so, maybe another time.

Great open space close to the coast. Marine Lake full of bird-life. Cafe, toilets and children park at the far end. Great walks.
