Porth Oer Beach (Whistling Sands) is definitely one of the most noteworthy beaches on the Lleyn Peninsula as the sand here does actually "squeak" under your feet! Dogs are not allowed on the beach in the summer months.
Dogs are not allowed on-site, with the exception of assistance dogs. We are often asked about the reason for Portmeirion & Castell Deudraeth's no-dogs-allowed policy. The no-dogs policy is also applied to protect the many people who may be picnicking, walking, swimming or relaxing in the grounds.
Shell Island is one of the few beaches that dogs are allowed on, so please clean up after them and use the doggy bins provided.

Stunning coastline and amazing views!

With long sandy beaches and a coast-line that stretches 22 miles across Sefton, you can soak up the panoramic view of golden sands and admire the beauty of the coast!Southport is a seaside resort in Merseyside. Southport grew up from the end of the 18th century. At that time staying by the sea and bathing in sea water became fashionable among the rich and famous and several seaside towns were founded. Later, in 1798 he built a hotel, the South Port Hotel.
On site parking - Parking is charged at £6 per car. Parking on the beach is only available this year if travelling from the North/East and will be limited. If you are travelling from the North you will automatically be directed to beach parking and Marine Drive car park.
Sea finally due to come into Southport. It's not something we get to see often - but the sea is definitely coming into Southport today! Yesterday's morning's Supermoon will cause supertides which will cause tides along the Sefton coast, at Southport, Ainsdale, Formby and Crosby, above 10 metres high.
Southport beach is free of dogs starting from the Pier south towards Pleasureland (for 555m) and to the tide line. Ainsdale Beach is free of dogs 200m either side of the main beach entrance and to the tide line.

No it's not advisable, but there is a very good swimming pool very close to the beach. Most people (kids) just paddle. You also have the iron men on the beach. over a year ago.
