Ainsdale beach is at the south end of Southport. The beach and car park is at the end of Shore Road, just next to Pontins. Parking is available on the beach all year round but during the summer the parking area is increased (so reducing the Wind Zone Area available) and a charge if made. During the winter, parking on the beach is free.

Ainsdale has an area set aside as a wind zone and all Blokart sailing must be done there. The wind zone area can be seen on the Ainsdale Zone Map. Please ensure that you respect all other wind zone users and abide by the rules at all times.

In order to use the beach you must have insurance and a permit.

A permit may be obtained by:

1.) Fill in the indemnity form
2.) Fill in contact form
3.) Sign copy of rules and regulations
4.) Send all above documents plus proof of insurance to the address on the indemnity form or arrange a visit to the Discovery Centre to take documents in and pick up a permit

Generally Sefton Council Rangers request that permits are picked up in person from the Discovery Centre but in certain circumstances they may agree to send the permit out by post if a stamped addressed envelope is included with the application.

Permits are only available at certain times of the day and days of the week, so if you are going in to sort out your permit, please call them and make an appointment first!

Insurance is available through membership of the BLSA
