Formby Beach is extremely popular with visitors on summer days, weekends and bank holidays.
Often named as one of the country's best beaches, its stunning sand dunes stretch for miles, with hundreds of acres of woodland beside it. Day-trippers from near and far flock to Formby for a dip in the sea, or to stroll along the sand.
But visitors should be warned they could face a hefty fine if they bring one banned item to the beach.
