Beach Visit
Beach Visit
With it’s squirrel sanctuary to its back, Formby Beach has always seemed to me at least, one of the better known beaches in the North West. Ainsdale on the other hand seems to be the poor relation but for us, all the better for it. The few run-down buildings at the entrance to the dunes could probably do with some tlc but the beach itself just makes sense for a family. The car park can be accessed regardless of the tide, the main beach is blocked off with wooden barriers so kids can run unobstructed the whole length of the place and it has a nice feel to it with parents pitching up chairs and picnics from the back of their cars. We all enjoy exploring the dunes, making slides from the sand and the wide open space and sea breeze always seem to inspire us to get a little bit more active with the kids.
