Official Tourism Website for Morecambe, Lancashire, UK

The coast offers families the chance to enjoy the many pleasures of the seaside, whether it’s flying kites, building sandcastles or simply enjoying a stroll along the promenade.

A day of seaside fun in Morecambe is a must for everyone. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Lakeland Fells, Morecambe offers the chance for families young and old to enjoy special times together.

At the heart of the resort is Morecambe’s award winning promenade. Stroll along with an ice cream and enjoy the view or have fun seeing it on two wheels, before grabbing a picnic and heading on down to the beach for a spot of sandcastle making or kite flying.

Don’t forget to visit the Eric Morecambe Statue, which looks out across the promenade, and the Tern Project, a series of public art installations inspired by the birdlife of Morecambe Bay.

And, of course, there’s the 1930s Midland Hotel, the art deco masterpiece which has been lovingly restored in recent years. Enjoy an afternoon tea overlooking the panorama of the Bay, treat yourself to a glass of wine in the Rotunda bar, and visit the stunning Eric Gill artworks on display in the foyer and at the top of the sweeping staircase.

Time to eat? There’s plenty of scope for ice cream, fish and chips and other seaside fare whilst you amble along the seafront, but if you prefer to eat indoors then there’s an array of cafes and restaurants to tempt your taste buds.

Just up the road lies Happy Mount Park, where family-friendly attractions complement the atmosphere of peace and tranquillity of a traditional park. Swingboats, mini golf, trampolines, a miniature train, a splash park and a zip wire will keep the kids amused whilst you enjoy the park’s landscaped surroundings.

At the end of the day, sit back and watch one of the best sunsets in the world as the sun dips into the sea over Morecambe Bay and the Lakeland Hills.
