It is with the beauty of Ainsdale Beach that attracts so many local families to enjoy it.
The local council allow kitesurfing on the beach and so it is a popular hobby for families to enjoy during the summer months. As a dog-friendly beach, visitors can also find the furrier members of the family too enjoying the sights and sound of the beach.
