Latest reviews on Smethwick's beaches

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.

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.

Wallasey Beach
10 Sara Thompson

The place is absolutely beautiful, not overly crowded, and boasts a breathtaking lighthouse. It's perfect for unwinding, taking leisurely walks, and escaping the chaos of everyday life.

Thurstaston Beach
10 Jaxon Roth

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.

West kirby beach
8 Nicolette Hatterson

This charming small sandy beach offers a delightful escape. The tide fluctuates significantly, so it's advisable to plan ahead. At times, you can stroll out to Little Eye, while other times the sea covers the marine lake entirely. In the summer, the beach comes alive with activities like donkey rides and nearby refreshment options. Keep an eye out for jellyfish, especially when the sea is warmer.
