Seaforth Rocks
FreeA rocky Mersey-mouth mark facing Fisherman's Wharf across the river, mixing dogfish and thornback ray action with the estuary regulars: flounder, dab, whiting and cod through the colder months.
Access: Free shore access along the rocks, though a permit is required for some parts of the Seaforth Rocks area near the port - check locally before setting up
