Distinguished for its panoramic sunsets against the backdrop of the bay and the distant peaks of the Lake District, Morecambe is a traditional seaside resort overlooking its namesake expansive bay.
Morecambe offers a variety of hotels, guest houses, and cottages for a comfortable stay. The town is also home to several must-visit attractions.
Having undergone a major refurbishment, the promenade area now contributes to sea defenses and has helped bring sand back to the beach area. The Stone Jetty, revamped as a public area, now hosts public art and games. The promenade also features a 'must-see' statue of British comedian Eric Morecambe.
With its abundant bird life and diverse marine habitats, the Bay is one of Europe's most significant wildlife sites. However, it's advised not to venture into the bay without a guide due to the quickly rising tide and potentially treacherous sands.
Behind Morecambe lies the historic town of Lancaster, overlooked by its medieval castle. Today, the castle functions as a prison and courthouse. This picturesque town, sitting on the River Lune, features views of the Lake District's distant hills.
Lancaster houses two museums - the Georgian Old Town Hall in Market Square, now the City Museum, and the Maritime Museum on the quayside.
Whether you prefer sunbathing or something more strenuous, the coast offers a range of activities. A vast selection of attractions are also available in the coastal area, from piers and harbours to fun fairs and roller coasters.
Details of local pubs, restaurants, nightclubs, and shops will be available shortly, providing you with a comprehensive guide to local amenities.
