Summer wouldn’t be complete without a trip to the beach and you don’t have to travel far from Manchester to find one. A picnic on the sand and a paddle in the sea is the best way to spend a sunny day and keep the kids entertained during the school holidays.
With vast expanses of sand and stunning views over to the Welsh mountains, Red Rocks beach is worth the 90 minutes’ drive from Manchester. Located on the north-western tip of the Wirral Peninsula, Red Rocks is a stunning sandy beach overlooked by a rust-coloured rocky outcrop.
Kids will love exploring the interesting rock formations, which set this beach apart from other coastal destinations nearby. With a huge expanse of sand there’s plenty of space to run around, play games and spread out.
