Name:

Marine Beach, Fleetwood

Beach description:

Originally a busy fishing port, Fleetwood is now a relatively quiet seaside resort. Marine beach boasts a large range of conditions for kite surfing. An incoming tide provides flat water riding, then at high tide,if the wind is strong, the wave riders among you can get your kicks on some big waves. As the tide retreats, freestylers will once again enjoy butter flat conditions. Fleetwood is also a great area for kite buggying, land boarding and recreational flying. Marine Beach will work on anything from W around to ENE. The best direction is NW. Neighbouring beaches West Point, Cleveleys and Rossall all work on S around to NW.

Beach Access

Parking is right in front of the beach in a large, free carpark.

Code of Conduct

When the tide is out, you can ride the 2 mile long Fleetwood Channel. This can be ridden on Westerly and Easterly winds. Fleetwood kitesurfers are lucky enough not to have any restrictions on their beach, but their aim, along with the help of Fleetwood Kite Club, is to promote safer beaches. With this in mind they request that their club members carry BKSA insurance.

Wind Direction

North, North-East, West, North-West

Water Type

Hazards
