Top places to see a sunset on the Lancashire coast
Posted on:
30 October 2026
With the sun now setting earlier and the crisp autumn weather arriving, it is the perfect time to experience some of Lancashire's spectacular sunsets.
Morecambe
Morecambe is a classic coastal town with wide views across Morecambe Bay and a long-standing connection to seaside traditions. Its promenade is one of the highlights, stretching along the waterfront with public art, including the well-known statue of Eric Morecambe, and open outlooks towards the Lakeland fells. The town centre offers a mix of independent shops, cafés and familiar favourites, while venues like the Midland Hotel—an iconic Art Deco building—add to the seafront’s character.
Along the coast, you’ll find plenty of space for walking, cycling and spending time by the water, with routes linking Morecambe to nearby Heysham and its historic village and harbour. The area also hosts a growing programme of events, from festivals and live music to seasonal activities along the promenade.
