St Annes Beach & Seafront
The Promenade, St Annes-on-Sea, Lytham St Annes, FY8 2NG · Blackpool & Fylde
An enormous golden-sand beach with a proper old-fashioned family seafront: Victorian paddling pool, seasonal splash park, miniature train, donkey rides and the 1885 pier with arcades and a cafe. The tended promenade gardens have waterfalls and ducks, and there are toilets (20p) near the pier. Note the huge tidal range — keep little ones close to shore — and dogs are banned from the main beach section in summer.
Spark Hub tip: Free on-street parking exists but fills fast in summer — arrive early
