Toegang
The easiest approach is to leave the M6 Motorway at junction 34. Follow the A683 through Lancaster and on towards Morecambe and then Heysham. Turn left following signs to Overton (for Sunderland Point) or Middleton (for Potts Corner). Middleton Sands can be accessed via country lanes. A couple of parking areas even when the tide is in (see link to the tides table below). Accessible by car or bycicle. There is parking for maybe 20 vehicles. Only been there when there was at most 8 cars. Area used by dog walkers.
