Watersports are popular here but windsurfers and kite surfers are asked not to come within 100 metres of the tide line to allow bathers to safely enjoy the clean waters. There is free parking along the nearby promenade along the length of the marine lake and a pay and display car park closer to the beach at Dee Lane. West Kirby has a number of bars, cafes, sandwich shops and a large supermarket. Please note: West Kirby Beach is within the West Kirby ‘No Alcohol Zone’ and alcohol taken onto the beach will be confiscated by the police.
