Blackpool Beach

With so much going on in Blackpool, it is easy to forget that we have a beautiful sandy beach right on our doorstep. The promenade has been transformed in recent years and now has Spanish style steps running between the piers which lead directly down to the beach. If the tide is out, take advantage of a sunny day and spend some time there – stroll along the beach or take a picnic and some buckets and spades for the children. Don't forget to have a ride on the donkeys.

The Blackpool beach at South Shore has been awarded the coveted Blue Flag award. This award is widely considered the gold standard for beaches. Awarded by the Foundation for Environmental Education, the Blue Flag is internationally recognised. While the beaches to the North and Central Blackpool have received the Seaside Award.
