Such a wonderful time we had on this beach !🏖️ surprisedly the beach had no litter(or less than the usual amount you would find on a beach ) , the environment felt safe and comfortable. However some part are really muddy , so I would advise to bring boots or anything stable to wear . Any ways, overall the beach was beautiful, well cleaned and I would recommend to come for a day out

Very nice beach for walking and enjoying the views. The iron statues are worth seeing. Wind can be strong and swimming is not ideal, but overall a great experience.”

Clean, peaceful and fresh sunrise walk. The beach was clean and not to busy. Highly recommend coming on a morning without rain.

Crosby Beach is a wonderful place that feels magical in any weather. You can enjoy it whether it’s sunny, cloudy, or windy — the atmosphere is always special. The beach has a warm, calming energy that somehow comforts you the moment you arrive. Its beauty doesn’t just impress the eye, it genuinely warms the soul. A truly lovely place to spend time, recharge, and feel peaceful.
