Lytham St Annes

The twin towns of Lytham and Saint Annes are nowadays jointly referred to as Lytham St Annes as their separate boundaries are virtually indistinguishable, although residents may beg to differ, for old loyalties die hard.

Lytham is a quieter, less commercially developed resort when compared to its immediate northern neighbour, Blackpool, and for this reason it is much favoured by older folk and those who seek a more peaceful seaside experience. It has extensive golden sands, and because the sea lies a good way out, and the tidal race is slow and gentle, it is an ideal place for small children, and its shore-side facilities reflect this.

There is a well established and safe paddling pool for toddlers on the main promenade near the central pier, where parents may sit amongst the ornamental gardens and keep watch. The old Victorian pier, which lies centrally on the beach, has been totally renovated in recent years. Its former elegance has been enhanced by new facilities for refreshments, ice cream kiosk, toilet facilities and an amusement arcade for small children. On the beach you can find the traditional donkey rides which seem to have suffered very little by the march of time.
