Don't be tempted to take what appears to be the shorter route from Hoylake. There's a good reason for the designated route out to the islands starting at West Kirby. The sands between Hoylake and the islands can shift and tend to be covered with a layer of slimy, slippery mud. At West Kirby the RNLI Life Guards use their 4x4 vehicles to mark the safe route using their tyre tracks shortly after low tide. Staying on the route will ensure you stay on firm, clean, compacted sand 👍
