Nice place to visit. Beautiful views to see. Cheap family day out if you live local and are taking a picnic or planning on having a BBQ. You have access to the Wirral Way and you have Thurstaston visitors centre on the doorstep that has a cafe, toilets, indoor kids play area and you can also hire a bike for the day. Also the caravan and motorhome club is a few yards away for touring.

Great place especially on a lovely sunny day with plenty of walking with the dog on the beach and pathways on the top.clear views across to rhyll etc and when the tide is out plenty of runaround for your dog. Couple of eating joints on the park and another just up the road on station road called the 'nest'. Plenty of parking but fills up quickly and is pay and display not sure how much as i couldn't get on as i went in the afternoon so i parked at the nest cafe for free. Plenty of food , drink and ice cream even for the dogs. Toilets available.

Stunning large park area. Beautiful and picturesque views, a good walking path and barbecue areas with tables in the picnic area, and a cafe (at the moment it was closed, but I think because it's probably winter, and it opens closer to summer) by the lake with ducks . It has excellent facilities and is dog friendly. There are many benches scattered around the park to relax, where you can admire stunning views of the beach and even the sunset. From here you can walk down to the beach and walk along the shoreline and numerous trails. There is a cycle path to West Kirby or Neston where you can even walk. Spent a wonderful day at Thurstaston Beach. We managed to go for a walk before sunset; it was excellent warm weather without rain or wind. A great place to spend a day with the family, with lots to explore, from lovely countryside walks to walks along the beach. We heard that there is a visitor information center with toilets, but we didn't need it and didn't understand where it was. There is ample paid parking.

A scenic loop route, with beautiful sea views, walk on the beach in one direction and loop around through the Wirral Way Trail for green ecology. Stop at Thurstaton Cafe for lunch and toilet.

Wonderful views of Wales over the Dee estuary. The Country Park path is easy walking, or you can go inland on footpaths for some variety. We didn't go in the visitor centre, but the cafe was excellent.
