Walney Biggar Bank Beach is a long sandy beach backed by an expanse of dunes forming a nature reserve to the north. The beach itself is composed of shingle, larger rocks, and some sandy areas, making it a diverse and interesting spot for beachgoers. The far north of the beach is used by naturists, who appreciate the seclusion and natural beauty of the area.
Walney Island is situated just off the coast of the Furness peninsula and is connected to the mainland at Barrow-in-Furness by the Jubilee Bridge. The beach is located on the west coast of the island, and visitors can enjoy stunning sea views while walking along the shore or playing golf at the nearby Furness Golf Club.
The nearby North Walney Reserve, administered by the Cumbria Wildlife Trust, is home to a variety of plant and wildlife species. The dunes, salt marshes, and grasslands of the reserve provide a unique and protected environment for these species to thrive.
Biggar Bank Beach welcomes dogs throughout the year, making it a perfect spot for pet owners to enjoy a seaside stroll with their furry companions. The beach's scenic views and natural beauty also make it an ideal location for long walks, beachcombing, and other outdoor activities.
