Location
Crosby beach has been a popular destination for beach volleyball players in the North West for quite some time and we have fallen in love with the wide, sandy and rather windy beach over the years. It is therefore no surprised we made our beloved beach our headquarter.
Crosby beach is part of the Merseyside coastline north of Liverpool in the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton. The easiest way to find us is to follow directions to Crosby Leisure Centre (Mariners Rd, Crosby, L23 6SX). Right in front of the leisure centre there is an entrance to the beach and we set up our nets on the left-hand side. There is a free car park available at the leisure centre but has limited spaces. You can find more information on parking at Crosby here. Alternatively, you can find more useful information on how to get to Crosby by public transport or even on your bike, here.
