All on the Lancashire Coast
Relive childhood memories or create new ones with a trip to the Lancashire coast.
Pack a picnic, grab your kite, and hire an award winning beach hut for the day at St Annes, or head to Cleveleys and Fleetwood to enjoy their award winning beaches – and see who can build the most impressive sandcastle.
Morecambe offers spectacular views across the bay and a beautiful promenade to stroll down or for the glitz and glam of the British seaside head to Blackpool, where you will find an array of attractions to keep the whole family entertained as well as the much loved Blackpool Illuminations.
