A road has been shut as the National Trust closed off the two car parks at the beach to new visitors.
Lifeboat Road in Formby, where one of the two car parks for the popular beach is based, has been shut by police as people are asked to avoid travelling to the coast by car. Merseyside Police confirmed it had shut the road and National Trust posted on social media that both car parks are now full as thousands are expected to fill Merseyside beaches.
The daytripper hotspot saw Merseyside Police guarding the Victoria Road car park entrance yesterday as the Trust was forced to shut the car parks following a surge in visitors to the golden beach. Now, officers have taken a further step to deter people from driving to the beach rather than walking or taking public transport.
