A recent article published by The Mirror has named Formby Beach as one of the UK’s “most littered” beaches — a claim we at Formby Bubble strongly disagree with.

Yes, like many popular coastal spots across the UK, Formby can become busy on hot summer days — but the reality on the ground tells a very different story. The real reason Formby Beach is getting so much attention online is because of the incredible efforts made by local clean-up heroes who care deeply about protecting this stunning coastline.

Groups like the Beach Litter Angels work tirelessly — often quietly and without thanks — to collect rubbish, clear up after others, and educate visitors on respecting the natural environment.

These amazing volunteers are out in all weathers, picking up after those who should know better, and keeping our beach beautiful for all to enjoy. They’re the reason so many people even notice the litter in the first place — because they make a difference every single day.

We believe that Formby has one of the most breathtaking and unspoilt stretches of coastline in the UK. With its dramatic dunes, red squirrel woods, and wide sandy beaches, it’s a place we should all be proud of — not tear down with sensational headlines!!

It’s easy for national media to jump on a few TripAdvisor reviews, but the truth is: Formby Beach is loved, cared for, and protected by its community. Rather than shame our coastline, we should all be part of the solution.

👉 So please — if you’re visiting this summer, enjoy everything Formby has to offer… but take your rubbish home with you!

Respect the beach, protect the wildlife, and leave nothing behind but footprints.

To the Mirror: next time, come and meet the volunteers. See the beauty. Celebrate the effort — don’t just chase the clicks.

Formby Bubble proudly stands by the people who make this beach so special.

👏 Massive thanks to the Beach Litter Angels and all the clean-up groups doing incredible work behind the scenes. You are local legends.
