Blundellsands Crosby Beach is a wide, sandy beach backed by low dunes, situated at the mouth of the River Mersey. The beach is part of a 3-mile stretch of coastline that runs north from the industrial area of Seaforth Dock.
One of the most striking features of Blundellsands Crosby Beach is the "Another Place" art installation by renowned artist Antony Gormley. The installation consists of 100 life-sized cast iron figures, all staring out to sea, which are spread along 3 km of the beach. These figures are built from casts of the artist's own body and can be seen dotted along the beach and leading into the waters. Depending on the tides, some of the figures may be submerged.
Visitors are advised to exercise caution when visiting the beach, as it is not suitable for swimming due to the fast-moving tides of the Mersey estuary. In fact, this part of the coast has some of the UK's fastest-moving tides. There are also areas of dangerous quicksands, so visitors are advised to keep within 50 metres of the promenade and should not attempt to walk out to the furthest cast iron figures.
The estuary of the River Alt, to the north, is the site of a 4,000-year-old submerged forest and is also home to many interesting bird species, including curlew and bar-tailed godwit. A variety of wading birds can be seen in the wet sands at low tide, as well as some magnificent displays by migratory birds at dusk. For those wishing to avoid the sand, it is possible to walk along the Coastal Path, taking in views of the Wirral and North Wales.
Behind the central section of the beach are some interesting old houses, the former homes of some of Liverpool's former sea-captains. Parking is available at Hall Road car park, and Hall Road railway station is a 5-minute walk away.
Blundellsands Crosby Beach is adjacent to the Sefton Coastal Footpath.
