Sefton Coast is a 4605.3 hectare (11379.9 acre) site of special scientific interest in England which stretches for 12 miles (20 km) between Southport and Waterloo, ending with Crosby Beach.

It has species such as grass of Parnassus, wild orchids, rare butterflies, sand lizards, natterjack toads and waders.

[1] Sefton Coast includes Crosby Beach, which is also the site of an art installation by Antony Gormley, called Another Place.

The pine woods at Victoria Road have been established as a National Trust reserve for the red squirrel, which is on the endangered species list.

The Sefton Coast and Countryside Service are working hard to keep these pools from becoming grown over so that they are ready each spring for this annual event.
