Visited 11/07/2022, parked in the Fairhaven Road Car Park, park in the non red marked bays (for use at the beach cafe customers only). The beach is signposted well from the car park and then a little bit of fine, soft grainy sand before going onto the main more solid sand. There it’s lots of space for everyone, would recommend some sort of sun shade/cover especially for days like when we came where the temp was 27oC, and if you can take a cooler box with lots of drinks as prices are quite steep in the locality (unless you nip to the B&M bargains nearby if you have the time). The tide was out when we arrived after lunch and we walked 0.75km toward the sea and reached some wetter/puddle sand area and realised the sea was still a fair way off at this time so didn’t go on but if your planning to walk to the sea then be prepared for a fair walk and time to do so, also make sure you have a sun brolly/cap/hat/sun cream etc to keep the lovely sun from turning you to a crisp. Bins provided near the entrance to the beach for rubbish which is great to help you keep the area clean/tidy/safe for everyone. 🏖⛱☀️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What an awesome beach! The beach is about 5 miles wide, and its approximately 1.7 miles to the sea shore (2pm in August). You can see Blackpool tower and the Big One ride at the distance, however, Lytham St Anne's beyond better. The beach is so clean and there is no litter at site. Dogs are only allowed at certain parts of the beach. The only downside is the smelly donkeys at a section in the middle of the beach, the owner did not even pick up their body waste, disgusting. The water at the sea shore is clean and calm, but the tide was going out and so we were walking further into the sea. There was an international kite festival on the day we were there, great to see this event and some amazing kites. There is a lot to do for kids on the beach front, plenty of activities. Amusements, swimming pool, mini golf, and fun fair. Fish and chips were great from The View. There isn't a lot of parking and toilet facilities, so it's best to go early. The beach is not far from the town centre, and there are plenty of hotels or apartments if you plan to stay. I can't wait to go back next summer!

A lovely, scenic beach which has a huge expanse of sand and, as such, appears uncrowded even on a busy day. The beach itself does have the odd muddy and grassy patch with it being part of the estuary. If you dig down a bit, the sand gets very dark, so make sure kids are wearing clothes you don't mind risking stains on. It is a very flat beach and the sea goes out a very long way - this wasn't a problem for us as the kids just played in a large pool left behind and that actually felt safer, but might be if you wanted a proper paddle or swim. Up on the promenade is a lovely sculpted garden complete with a lake and waterfall. Further along are sea front businesses and a small selection of children's rides. There's also a splash park called Splash, which you can book a 45-minute slot for a child for a bargain £1. Be aware that all the toilets along the sea front you need to pay to use, but most people hold the door open for you to save you needing to.

Gorgeous beach with miles of sand to play & watch the sunset. The beach just are great if you want a base & have a little more money to spend but we're often happy to pitch a day tent near the pier & while away a sunny day. There's great ice cream, a paddling pool & amenities on the prom as well as mini golf, amusements & a little train. Toilets are 40p but they're clean & serviceable. St Anne's town centre is a short walk from the beach & local shops provide everything you may have forgotten. Dogs are always welcome but cannot go on parts of the beach during peak season. Parking can be found free of charge on parts of the prom but there can be a charge in other parts or on private car parks so it's necessary to check first. There are plenty of pubs, restaurants, cafés & fish & chip shops nearby too & fantastic shopping is available just down the road in Lytham.

Love this beach. At night when the tide goes out its magical. During the day its a hive of activity with wind surfers, people taking their dogs for walks and generally families having fun. The beach stretches for a long way, so there is something for everyone. On one long stretch of road, you will find a boating lake, bird sanctuary, cafes, tennis lawn bowling, wild dunes, long stretches of beach, trampolines, amusements golf, mini train ride, cinema, swimming pool, Toby Carvery, beautiful gardens lots of parking, EV charging points, toilets.. I just cannot do this place justice. Its well worth a visit, and it won't break the bank either. If you have an RV at night you see them parked alongside the road, and it's a quiet road not a busy main Road. The locals make you feel welcome..so go on check it out it's well worth a visit.

Wow, impressed. The sea was about 2 miles out from the beach . I didn't realise it would also be so clean the beach. It was also split into an area for dogs and no dogs, which I totally agree with. There were some lovely beach huts that I think you can hire for the day, too. But it looks like this had to be done over the Internet well in advance . There were a few cafes and stalls of other food and drink etc. The area is flat too, so ideally, it is great for mobility scooters, etc. There was a large swimming pool I think indoors. My sister mentioned it. There was a little outdoor paddle pool. I think further our from St Anne towards Lytham? There's a big massive lake? The hotels on the breach front looked great, too . Overall I would deffinatly recommend.
