Southport Beach will be closed for parking over the Easter Holiday period due to high tides.

The Council have tweeted: 'The car park on #Southport beach will be CLOSED from April 17th to April 23 due to high tides.' #MySefton

Wonder why they don't open the beaches when the tide has started to recede, (after the lunchtime high tide) ?

Good. It’s a beach, not a car park.

Because then some poor sod would have to make sure everyone had left before the night time high tide. Bound to be some idiots having a late night BBQ refusing to budge.
