Crosby Mariners Road Beach is a wide, sandy beach backed by low dunes, stretching approximately 3 miles north from the industrial area of Seaforth Dock. The beach is popular with walkers, bird watchers, and art lovers.
One of the most striking features of Crosby Mariners Road Beach is the "Another Place" art installation by renowned artist Antony Gormley, best known for his Angel of the North. The installation consists of 100 life-sized cast iron figures, all staring out to sea, which were built from casts of the artist's own body. These figures are spread along 3 km of Crosby beach and can be seen dotted along the beach and leading into the waters, depending on the tides.
Visitors are advised to exercise caution when visiting the beach due to the fast-moving tides of the Mersey estuary, which make it unsuitable for swimming. Additionally, there are areas of dangerous quicksands, and visitors are advised to keep within 50 metres of the promenade and not attempt to walk out to the furthest cast iron figures. However, the beach offers scenic views of the Wirral and North Wales, and it is possible to walk along the Coastal Path. The estuary of the River Alt, located to the north, is home to many interesting bird species, including curlew and bar-tailed godwit.
Behind the central section of the beach are some interesting old houses, the former homes of some of Liverpool's former sea-captains. Parking is available at Hall Road car park, and Hall Road railway station is a 5-minute walk away. The beach is a good place to stop and watch passing ships sailing out into the Irish Sea.
