Keep an eye out for the statues that run along the beach

Crosby beach is a huge sandy beach on the Irish Sea. The Burbo Bank windfarm is clearly visible offshore.

Sculptor Antony Gormley has installed 100 cast iron casts of himself looking out to sea. The installation is called Another Place.

The beach was stabilised from the mid 19th century, as prior to this, high sea tides could come in as far as the first row of houses. In the older dunes north of the coastguard station, between the sea and the West Lancashire Golf Club, there are still some remains of the old wartime defences. The navigable shipping channel in Liverpool Bay, connecting the River Mersey to the Irish Sea, runs parallel to the beach to around the coastguard station where it swings out to sea.

The beach was awarded Keep Britain Tidy's Quality Coast Award in 2011. The beach was featured in the 2012 BBC drama Good Cop, filmed at and around the beach region. Sefton Council hoped the drama would promote the coastline as a location ideal for filming.

As of 2020, the annual cost by the council to fund lifeguards on the beach is £160,200, with an additional annual budget of £15,000 for maintenance works. It has a great path, but just past Crosby Lake, there is too much sand to be able to ride on. Take the road.
