Lovely clean beach. Good stretch to walk on. Although it is steep with alot of steps to get down and its tiring climbing back up. Water is clean. Car park is medium sized and there is a cafe (never visited it though) it links with the wirral way circular trail so can walk that too. Does get busy if the sun is out or weekends.
Decent stretch of tidal beach, sandy parts but a lot of sludgy mud and pebbly stretches. You have to descend a set of steps to reach it so might not be best suited for prams/buggies etc. Plenty of parking available at the top.
Pay for parking ????️ nice beach - very quiet and has a winding path down and up with steps. There are quite a few pebbles and when the tide is out it’s a little muddy when you walk out.
One of the nices beaches I have visited because of the peace and quiet ???? and we came on Friday afternoon. We left the car on Wirral country park car park and then followed the signs for the beach. I was well impressed as there weren't a lot of people at all. My daughter was a bit disappointed because we didn't get to play in the water even though I did check the high tide time, 7m wasn't high enough, opt for 8m and you will get the sea close enough. Plenty to explore, you can't play on cliffs but I liked just looking at them as they seemed very dramatic in places. Highly recommend this place for a peaceful day out.
Thurstaston cliffs are "Devon cliffs of northwest." Just in a very small scale. While all people are crowding in overrated and boring Crosby beach or nice, but crowded north beaches of Wirral or around Prestatyn/Rhyl, west part of Wirral is relatively empty. Steepy curvy stairs leading to the top of the cliffs together with amazing views over Wales, excellent services and plenty of benches took my breath away. Thurstaston beach is an amazing place and I'll be there soon, but this time I will use bike routes around
The beach is nice and the walk down to the beach is nice. Unfortunately you couldn't get to the ocean because of the low tide and all the mud/estuary. We did enjoy walking along the sand and the view was nice, just wish we could have gotten closer to the water. We didn't have trouble parking, but I can imagine you might if you come later in the day. Parking was cheap as well. Nice beach to visit if you are in the area
Disappointing experience. Wouldn't call this a beach per say... it had a lot of pebbles and a lot of mud. (I don't mind pebbles, but when a child is trying to build a sandcastle it's not very helpful!) It was difficult to walk and have a splash about with wellies on. Don't know how people were in it.
It's very unkempt (some would say natural)... It wasn't for me. The reviews are very misleading especially to someone who travelled over 2 hours to get to it...
We did see someone picking up massive bags of rubbish from the beach, which was nice to witness. There were no litter about which is another positive.
Gorgeous peaceful beach. The dog loved it. Park on the country park car park. Pay and display. 2.00 for 2.hrs . Walk over the bridge on the Rd by the frizzies cafe or cut through the country park by the whistle stop cafe over to the right and through the gate on the right and follow the to the beach sign. 2 min walk. Down the wooden steps . Nor ideal for infirm so bear that in mind. The country park is gorgeous with lovely views and picnic areas . Frizzies dog friendly cafe too is great. Lovely staff and a doggie menu.
