Morecambe Beach — Local services in Lancaster

Morecombe Beach has much potential especially with the Eden Project being built on it's sea front which will attract revenue to the town and visitors alike. However, in the current moment in time the sea front is looking very unloved, dirty and seedy. A poor man's Blackpool. Only one or two businesses have made an effort to present a smart fresh appearance. The majority have not bothered at all and it shows : fast buck for very little investment and the Council don't seem too concerned either. Even the Midland Hotel looks shabby externally despite the high prices they charge to stay there.

We even had a Mr Whippy's ice cream cone with chocolate flake - the classic '99' 😎. A great day out down a modernised version of...

A solutely stunning coastline. If on holiday or a short break in Morecambe when there is clear skies try to catch a sunrise or sunset from the promenade or anywhere along the front as it is spectacular. The beach itself is not your usual each due to the tide and some parts of the sands The beach itself can be treacherous due to the gast tides and quick sands so its not uour usual each as such, but the warnings etc are well known and very clearly visible, you cabt miss them. . Dont let that put you off walking along the prom and the pathways and the sea front itself, plenty to do and seez grab a coffee, or something to eat.
