Season: autumn
Thurstaston beach is largely south west facing, comprising sand and shingle. It looks out over the River Dee and is an estuary beach, so Thurstaston attracts birds and varied marine wildlife, including occasional sightings of basking sharks. The Dee Sailing Club slipway here is also used by cockle fishermen and pleasure boat operators, so there’s plenty to enjoy as a visitor. It is also the finishing point for the Wirral Coastal Walk.
What the beach means to Bev and Steve.
