Marine Lake
West Kirby contains a large man made coastal lake, the 'Marine Lake'. The structure is large enough to hold sailing events, sailboarding and many more water related activities including: canoeing; kayaking; and power-boating. In early 2009 it was reported that the lake had undergone structural damage, most likely due to estuarine erosion. Since this report a £750K refurbishment has taken place to help restore the lake, and is now back to holding water sport activities
