Mere Road (adj)

Alright, so you're heading to Formby beach and stressing about parking? Yeah, I get it. Mere Road car park is your best bet for free parking, and let's be honest, free is good, right? It's literally right next to the beach entrance, so you can't miss it.

Now, the catch. Because it's free, it fills up *fast*, especially on sunny weekends or school hols. I'm talking before lunchtime sometimes. If you're aiming for peak times, get there early, like seriously early. You'll be fighting for spaces with everyone else heading to see the red squirrels in the woods or just wanting a day by the sea.

It's a decent-sized car park, plenty of spaces normally, but Formby beach is popular. Don't expect any fancy facilities; it's just a place to leave your car. No toilets or anything like that, you'll need to head onto the beach for those.

If you're planning a Formby beach trip, especially with the family, try to arrive before 11am to snag a space at Mere Road. Otherwise, you'll be driving around for ages or relying on the (limited) paid parking further down. Good luck!
