The promenade and sea defence was officially opened in May 2023. It was built to provide protection against rising sea levels. It is 1.1km in length. On the left is Marine Lake opened in 1899. Wirral Council says the scheme ‘will protect 70 properties at risk of flooding now from extreme tidal events’ and give over 500 properties improved protection over the next century as sea levels rise.
