Great art attraction on the beach. There are signs around explaining what they represent and the process of putting them in. Easy to access via public transport from either Waterloo, Hall Road or Blundellsands & Crosby train stations. The beach can get busy even in winter months so plan ahead in the warmer season. Be careful of the tides, as they seem to come in quite quickly and can come quite high (there are warning sides around that during high tides the promenade can flood). Although if you do watch the tides coming it is nice to seem them against the statues.

Truly beautiful spot to take a walk along the beach. The statues were incredible to watch as the tide came in. I'd recommend coming at mid tide, as the water is coming in. The beach itself is wide, flat and sandy. Loads of shells to collect and very dog friendly. There is ample street parking and many reasonable car parks along the beachfront promenade.

Amazing place to visit. The Gormley statues are awe inspiring! Take care when the tide turns - fastest I’ve ever seen. Could easily catch you out!!!

These life-size, cast iron sculptures of men standing out upon the sands are near-identical. They vary by the degree to which they have attracted the growth of seaweed, depending upon positioning. Truly, they have to be seen to be believed and are a photographer's dream.

Always a great place to visit, generally a clean area of beach where you walk among the 100 iron men sculptures dotted around the coastline. Sometimes seems very surreal seeing these figures, some covered in barnacles, others hardly touched by the signs of the tide effect. Some standing tall, some half buried by sand and some upto their necks in the sea, but a great sight all the same and keeps the kid's amused at the same time. Love this place, because it's a smile making place, for everyone 😁

Another Place by Antony Gormley is one of those that you have to say you have seen. They are amazing to see and they are quite eerie but majestic in a way. The beach is lovely, flat and sandy. A place place to walk along and chill for a while. Can get quite windy as so open. You can even go and watch them disappear when the tide comes in, though some can still be seen.

Today was the absolute perfect day for visiting, with fine weather, almost no wind at all and a beautiful blue sky. We checked the tide times before setting off and left Liverpool Central arriving at Blundellsands just after 10am (low tide). The site of the 100 statues across the 1.5 mile stretch of beach is impressive. Some are way out from the coastal path, others much closer. Each one has weathered differently and stand at slightly different heights due to the actions of the sea and shift of the sands. We walked away from Liverpool and left the coastal path at Hall Road to catch the train back to Liverpool. There is a carpark and also toilet facilities at that end of the path. The alternative would have been to walk towards Liverpool to catch the train from Waterloo. The Daysaver ticket cost only £5.85 which was a bargain and enabled us to go to Chester for the afternoon at no additional cost. I highly recommend visiting the Gormley installation, just check the tide timetable and the weather forecast!

It’s a fantastic beach to visit! It’s huge! You can walk for hours before reaching the water. There are lots of mysterious statues (with willies) dotted all over the place. Weather or not this is some kind of Doctor Who sci-fi madness or a uk style Chinese secret army goodness knows. Buts it’s cool none the less. Parking is dirt cheap too!!! Just be aware the road to the parking is very long at just 20mph (despite being perfectly straight with nothing on it.

Great beach for dog walking. Worth a visit

The beach area is nothing special, it felt quite tired but I have always wanted to see the 'men' and they didn't disappoint. Fascinating to see them . I believe there are 100 of them in all . Lots of warning signs saying that it's not safe to walk out further than 50 metres from promenade due to sinking sad etc so not a great beach for exploring really. A lot of lifeguards on sight . Parking was very reasonable, £1 for up to 2 hours and good toilet facilities. Coffee van . Dog friendly. Stunning sunset ! I drove best part of 1 hour to get there , and doubt I'll bother again.

Stunning installation of iron men on the beach and into the sea. I was there at sunset and at low tide which was magical. I want to return another time at high tide and watch the men gradually becoming visible as the tide receded.

An interesting concept. The statues seem to be very similar and seem to be numbered. It's great fun trying to find the next statue coming out of the sea. They are naked (male) and could be a bit creepy for younger children, when the tide is coming in, as they are hidden under water. We bought a fish and chip supper and had a late summer evening's stroll along the beach. Very pleasant.

We're lucky enough to live right on this beach and after years I still love these statues as much as the first time I saw them. They change with time and because of the nature of the dunes and the tide no two visits to them are ever the same. The spacing on the beach means you can amble along right up to Burbo bank without really noticing how far you've gone, and the lack of shops/restaurants etc mean it's a lovely wild bit of coast. (There's a public toilet and occasional coffee van up at Burbo bank if you really need it!) It's a pretty windy beach though, so do bring a hat to protect little ears on your adventure.

These statues are on Crosby beach they add to the beach and is a good idea its inique how ever they can be a little creepy at night when you're walking alone often think they are someone just stood there in the distance and do belive they have moved before. Very creepy. But I like them

I love this beach and all its haunted souls that appear as the tide decreases. It is a beautiful setting with stunning sunsets over a 6 mile sandy beach. Definitely worth a visit

This is such a thought provoking installation but be careful on the beach - there are some areas of very soft sand and the tide can catch you when it heads in. Really worth a visit, free parking can be found Crosby Leisure Centre with direct beach access.

Fantastic piece of work, fascinating to see as it transforms what would be a nice but unremarkable beach into,quite literally another place !. We visit every few years to witness the ageing process brought about by the exposure to time and tide, truly fascinating

(Translated by Google) Good place to spend the afternoon. Comfortable beach with free parking. If there is no place to eat or go to the toilet. (Original) Buen sitio para pasar la tarde. Playa cómoda con parking gratuito. Silo falta sitios para comer o ir al lavabo.

Nice beach close to Liverpool city. Good place to spend a sunny day or watch sunset. But the water is faraway and the stretch close to the water is filled with silt so best not to try to get into the water

Beautiful beach, statues are amazing. Strange to see them appearing as the tide goes out. An art exhibition you can walk around and touch. Spaced over a large area of beach which is otherwise unspoilt. Well worth a visit.

Nice place to walk or sit and watch the sun go down

We visited on a rainy day and had the beach pretty much to ourselves. The status are intriguing and thought provoking. We parked at the leisure centre free car park. As it has excellent access for a disabled person. A short flat walk to the beach. Also there are plenty of toilets and a cafe in the leisure centre.

A lovely clean beach with the Iron men sculptures along it. They are wonderful to see, good pay and display parking available.

Quite a place. Definitely worth a visit, bit eery if you wander about first thing in the morning and theres no one about.

Evocative, emotional , surreal. 100 cast iron watching , waiting figures. All identical portraits of the artist , Antony Gormley, in various stages of decay, spread along Crosby beach.

Beautiful beach with the added addition of 100 atmospheric statues. Love how the water washes over them, and that they've been installed at different heights too. Well worth a visit

It was spur of the moment decision to visit and I'm so glad we took the opportunity. Another Place with the Standing Men is truly amazing, the corrosion on the statues only makes them improve and adds to the incredible location. The weather was so hot and the sunshine reflecting on the statues adding to the wonderful sight of the hundred standing figures.

A fascinating and amazing piece of artwork featuring 100 sculptures of men looking out to sea at Formby beach. We managed to see six of them from where we stood as the tide went out. Would recommend a visit here.

Very muddy, small sand. Thought you can swim here but you can't. A lot of cruise ships ruining beautiful views.

Great place with free parking, toilets and mobile catering on site.

What a great place to take the dogs for a walk. The metal statues dotted along the bay provide a great attraction. Nice ice cream van and a coffe & crepe van too.

Made a fleeting stop, primarily to use the facilities at the leisure centre, but seeing as we were practically parked on the encroaching beach, we took a wind lashed hike up to the beach proper just to check out the view. Because of the horizontal rain and disconcerting chemical smell, we weren't too keen on spending much time there. However a subconscious unsettling feeling gradually revealed its source. Not all the figures, on what would have been, considering the weather, an unexpectedly busy beach. Were not actual living people but statues fixed at random positions far and wide for as far as we could see. Naturally these iron characters demanded further investigation, so we ventured onto the brutal sands to take a closer look at the nearest specimen. Obviously they must be a significantly renowned installation. 3 stars is probably an unfair rating, if it wasn't for the inclement day and shipping emissions, a more thorough appreciation of some of the other characters would probably warrant a higher score. Choose a fine day and you won't be disappointed.

Lovely atmospheric walk along the beach enjoying the different settings for each installation/statue.

We usually bemoan mankind’s clumsy hand on the landscape. But sometimes our hand is intriguing and original. Up to the north west of England for a long-awaited visit to see the cast metal figures set into the beach in Crosby, Lancashire. One hundred naked men of metal. Fixed into the sand. All facing west out into the advancing and retreating sea. Many clothed in barnacles. As the tide chases in, the men appear to wade fearlessly into the advancing waves. Those higher up the beach are being slowly consumed by sand. Imagined by the artist Sir Anthony Gormley. Mysterious and timeless. So right.

Great walk warm wind and little sunshine

Dogs, sand, snacks!! Are people for real?! Awe inspiring, even at near high tide.

A great beach to visit with the added bonus of these works of art. Lots of different car parking options and a snack van. Good for dogs.

Lovely beach, with clean fine sand, and lots of amusing statues dotted up, down and all along the beach.

It's was really nice ☺️ we had fun

impressive and inspirational to see 100 ironcast human size figures stretching out three miles from south to north

This is truly a magical place. It was easy to find a free parking space right near the beach I aimed my visit for low tide, so when I got to the beach, the tide was already quite out. This left pools of seawater on the beach and around some of Antony Gormley's marvellous cast iron figures. Coming onto the beach and seeing these still figures all facing out to sea. It is really worthwhile to simply stop and let the magic of it all soak in before moving on. One can either walk along a well maintained promenade or along the sandy beach. The 100 statues are spread over a stretch of about 2km, and coming back, there's a different feel to these statues with a backdrop of the huge cranes of the Liverpool Docks. It is important to be aware that this beach has softsands and mudflats that are a real danger. Please do not underestimate it. When I visited, there was an RNLI truck parked on the beach, which made me feel safe. The only thing that saddened me about the visit is the pockets of rubbish that no doubt was washed off from the sea. There were various plastics, wrappers, diapers, a shoe, and a broken fishing net. There are very few rubbish bins along that part of the beach, so I had to carry these and drag the fishing net behind me for a good 15 minutes to find a bin. However, all in all, Sefton Council is doing a very good job in trying to keep the beach clean.

Great place to visit , walking dogs , the kids having a good time on a very clean beach . Plus the Gormley statues .

Lovely beach and some great history on Titanic in Crosby.

Lovely sunset walk x

Must visit area, great walks and Scenary

Beautiful for a relaxing walk

Amazing what ever time you visit

Worth a visit

Great place for a walk out, several places to stop for a cuppa along the route, benches to sit on if feeling tired, beaches to run along or good tarmac path for walking or cycling. Suitable for all ages

Incredible spot to visit and take in the sea air. Lovely views of North Wales wherever you look. Be aware that the car park is currently closed due to lockdown so everyone is parking on double yellows on the road.

Too many covidiots

Metaphysical World-Class Open Air Exhibit !<3

Nice

Great beach/promanade for long walks.

Such a lovely beach to walk and so dog friendly

A beautiful place to visit and some great walks.

Always a great place to take the dogs

Thus place is just amazing! I didn't realise there were so many statues, and a free car park nearby is the cherry on top. Definitely worth a visit!

Just lovely here, it really is! Pick a good weather day and stroll amongst the men. The weathered and living figures are magical! Get up close and listen to the noise of the barnacles contract from your presence! If you are lucky with the weather then hide from the breeze in the recesses of the lovely sand dunes and have a picnic 👌😁

Fantastic so lucky to have this on my doorstep and 💖🙏

A good place for a walk on the beach in a stunningly beautiful location.

Very impressive to see all the statues along the beach. Beach wasn't over crowded so that made it comfortable visit. Toilets ok and ice van was handy.

Brilliant feature of Crosby Beach. In all honesty I probably wouldn't visit this beach if it weren't for the Another Place statues from Anthony Gormley.

Don't know why I liked it bt I did

Crosby beach is a wee gem I never knew about. My mum has lived in Bootle for years and we've only just discovered it. Great exhibition to keep wee ones busy and you search for all the figures.

Interesting piece of art. Best visited without the crowds so early or late in the day / season.

100 cast iron men, in various stages of rusting, stand patiently, watching the sea, the gateway to the world before them. A thought provoking installation which only improves with age.

Odd but enthralling.

Fantastic but make sure you go before high tide

Modern sculptures, interesting when the tide is coming.

I go here nearly every week just to escape

Simple but stunning. Each statue is the same but its position determines how corroded it is and how covered in barnacles. Just be careful of walking out too far. The sand is very muddy and almost quicksand in places. The views to Snowdonia are stunning too. Parking available.

Very nice sandy beach .... with over 100 statues....just watch out for the quick sand

Absolutely stunning views and each statue was individually labelled, such a clever idea to have them walking out into the sea! Brilliant day out, parking was easy, coffee and cake purchased from the vans in the car park. Dogs are allowed on the beach as well. Even managed to bump into Jamie Carragher! ☀️

Spooky sculptures!

Very relaxing

I spent a few hours here, walking at the beach, and had a picnic there. Really enjoying myself. The locals are very friendly. Fortunately, there were starlings in sight and we watch their formations. What a great experience!

Nice place

Very nice

Tranquil place even in stormy weather.

Great beach.. Must visit

A nice beach with unfortunately too many muddy patches where its easy to stuck.
