Did You Know?
There is a beautiful quiet beach, with lovely sand,
woodland walks (Where you can see rare Red Squirrels - lots of
them) miles of sand dunes to shelter in & its about the closest beach to Stoke-On-Trent
Take a picnic (Toilets there but no cafe) Or How about this? Just a few miles North of Formby you have Ainsdale Here you can actually drive onto the beach in your car - park for a picnic and enjoy the lovely sand with all the benefits of being able to store things in your car when not in use and no walking carrying chairs etc The main
part when you drive on has lifeguards during busy times and a dog ban in
place, NB if taking your dog don't be put off as you approach by the
large NO DOGS sign - as you get closer you see this relates to the area
directly in front, you have to drive along the beach and you are
soon out of the dog free zone.
Ainsdale Just drive
