About This Place

Parking is available at the UFO-like Crosby Leisure Centre, from which a path leads over the dunes to the southerly end of Crosby Beach.  From here, a short walk up towards the River Alt estuary brings the visitor to a series of iron-cast male figures each staring out to sea. --> This is the “Another Place” art installation, created by Turner Prize-winning artist Antony Gormley.  At certain times, many of the installations are submerged by seawater.  Get here as the high tide is starting to recede and marvel at the eerie sight of the figures gradually beginning to emerge from under the waves.Visitors need to be aware that some areas of the beach have dangerous quicksands, as well as tides which can come in surprisingly quickly.  Signs warn that beach-goers need to stay within 50 metres of the promenade.The beach overlooks the Burbo Bank offshore wind farm.  There are also interesting views out towards the Bootle Docks and the Liverpool skyline.

💡 Our Take

Looking for a perfect doggy beach day in Merseyside/Liverpool? We at DogParkUK recommend Mariners Road on Crosby Beach! Your furry friend is welcome year-round on this sandy stretch - pawsome! Parking is available along the road but arrives early as it gets busy, especially during peak season. Please note, toilet facilities may be some distance from your exact location. While dogs will love splashing around, remember; this beach is exposed to the open sea therefore only take your dog swimming if it's confident in the water. This is great for all dogs, just keep a close eye on puppies!
