Although Greater Manchester has lots of things to offer, a beach isn’t one of them. Luckily for us there are plenty of seaside destinations nearby which are within easy reach.
Less than 90 minutes’ drive away is the seaside town of West Kirby. Located on the north-western tip of the Wirral Peninsula, it has views across the River Dee over to the Welsh mountains.
Earlier this year West Kirby’s beach was named one of the best in the UK. Although it’s only 300m long, the sandy beach boasts breath-taking views and looks out onto the Hilbre Island archipelago, so it’s easy to see why it made the top ten.
