This busy little beach is only 300 metres long but it lies between a kilometre of sand dunes and a further 2 kilometres of vast sand flats exposed at low water towards Hoylake and the popular marine lake which is one of the best facilities of its kind in the North West.

Easy flat access straight from the pavement onto the beach is important for some visitors and ice cream and coffee shops as well as toilet facilities are only a few metres away from the main entrance at the end of Dee Lane. Lifeguards in their distinctive red and yellow uniforms patrol the beach and the tide line as far out as the Hilbre Island Local Nature Reserve located a kilometre off shore and accessible on foot at low water. (It is essential to check the tide times and recommended safe crossing route before walking across to the islands).
