New Brighton Tide Times

New Brighton sits right at the mouth of the Mersey, so its high water lands at much the same time as Liverpool (Gladstone Dock), the station these times are based on. That puts it roughly half an hour ahead of the Dee-side beaches like Hoylake and West Kirby, worth remembering if you're planning a day that takes in both coasts.

The tide matters here for different reasons than at Hilbre. There's no crossing to time, but the beach gives way to soft mud beyond the dry sand, and the Marine Lake fills and empties on the tide, so the around-high-water hours are when the promenade and lake are at their best. If you're heading onto the rocks by Fort Perch Rock or the lighthouse, check the times below first: people still get caught there as the flood comes back in.
