Liverpool is situated along the eastern side of the Mersey Estuary. The climate here is classified as a temperate maritime climate, like much of the British Isles, with mild winters and cool summers. Furthermore, Liverpool is noted for its music, as it is the birthplace of The Beatles. It is also well known for its rich architectural heritage. In addition to that, the city won the World Heritage Site status by UNESCO in 2004.
Wirral Peninsula nestles between the River Dee and the River Mersey. It is a great destination, as it has beautiful sandy beaches, breathtaking views of the Liverpool skyline and many picturesque villages, most of which preserve their characteristic red sandstone buildings. West Kirby is a sandy beach, which offers stunning views of part of the North Wales coastline and also of the Hilbre Island, that are accessible by foot from the beach, at low tide.
Kite surfing is relatively new to this area, but it is becoming increasingly popular, especially at high tide. The beach offers good wind conditions and flat, shallow water, as it is sheltered by the Hilbre Island. Note that, it is suitable for both the beginner and the more experienced kiter. In addition, the location accommodates northerly and southerly winds.
If you don’t have previous experience or you wish to improve your skills, then you should visit the kite-surfing school, that is located in the area. The optimum time to visit the spot is from April to October. Finally, the location caters good facilities, also including car parking.
