Southport beach covered in mud as council issue car warning

The beach at Southport is too treacherous for cars to travel on, it’s been announced.

Southport Beach car park remains closed after beach rangers said a thick layer of mud has covered the sand, meaning cars would get stuck or lose control.

A Sefton Council spokesperson said “Southport beach car park remains closed following recent high tides.

“The car park is currently unsuitable for parking due to a layer of wet silty mud that could cause vehicles to get stuck or lose control.

“We are reviewing the car park on a daily basis, and as soon as conditions become safe, we will reopen the beach car park. The latest update on beach car parking can be found at: https://www.sefton.gov.uk/beachcarparking

“Ainsdale beach car park remains open and will be throughout the weekend, including the bank holiday Monday 19^th September.”
