Crosby Beach

Crosby Beach is a stretch of coastline on the Merseyside coast, located north of Liverpool city centre. Travellers visit this location primarily to see the coastline and the large-scale art installations situated along the shore. The beach is recognized for its clean coastline and provides an open natural space for walking.

Getting There

The beach is accessible from Liverpool city centre via local bus services or by train to the nearby Waterloo area. Depending on the mode of transport and traffic, the journey typically takes between 20 and 40 minutes.

Duration of Visit

Allow approximately 2 to 3 hours to walk along the shoreline and view the installations. The time required may increase if you intend to walk further along the coast toward New Brighton.

When to Visit

The beach is open to the public year-round. Visiting during the morning or early morning avoids the larger crowds that gather during weekends and summer holidays. Be mindful of the tide schedules, as high tide can cover parts of the beach and limit access to certain areas.

Nearby Attractions

  • New Brighton Lighthouse (2.9km)
  • New Brighton Tower (3.7km)
  • Egremont (5.2km)
