Crosby Beach, Sandy beach in Merseyside, England
Crosby Beach is a sandy beach in Merseyside, northwest England, extending three kilometers north from Seaforth Dock. At low tide, the wide sand flats reveal approximately one kilometer of additional shore reaching toward the water.
The coastline shows traces of prehistoric settlement reaching far into the past. During the 19th century, the area belonged to wealthy landowners who controlled the land along the shore.
Since 2007, one hundred cast-iron figures created by artist Antony Gormley stand permanently along the beach as part of the Another Place installation. The life-sized sculptures face the sea and become partially submerged at high tide, giving them a constantly changing appearance.
Three nearby railway stations – Waterloo, Blundellsands, and Hall Road – provide direct access to the beach with regular connections from Liverpool city center. The promenade along the shore is suitable for walking and offers views along the coast.
Every Saturday morning, a five-kilometer parkrun takes place along the beach, combining running with coastal air. The event is free and regularly brings together runners of all ages who jog along the promenade.
