Banks Marsh NNR

Banks Marsh NNR is one of the natural highlights of the Southport coastline — a place where the scale of the Lancashire coast really hits home.

The beaches around Southport are among the finest in the north-west of England — wide, clean, and backed by sand dunes that stretch for miles in either direction. Banks Marsh NNR is one of the most popular and accessible stretches along this coast.

Banks Marsh NNR is accessible throughout the year, though summer and early autumn tend to offer the best conditions for beach walking and water sports. Dogs are generally welcome outside the main summer season.
