About
On Lancashire’s northwest coast, Morecambe Beach lies on the extensive Morecambe Bay, famed for its vast tidal flats and wildlife. Historically, Morecambe grew into a popular Victorian seaside resort, and its promenade and iconic structures reflect that rich heritage. Morecambe is a delightful coastal getaway, though it’s not the best dog-friendly location during peak season.

Things To See & Do
During off-peak seasons, Morecambe Beaches allows dogs to roam and play freely on the sand, making Morecambe a good out-of-season destination. If you visit in the summer, you will be restricted to promenade walks, the small beach at Sandylands, or needing to hop into your car.
You have to get a photo of the Statue of Eric Morecambe. It is a commemorative bronze sculpture of Eric Morecambe (1926–1984) by Graham Ibbeson, which the Queen unveiled in July 1999. The sculpture depicts Morecambe in his “Bring Me Sunshine” pose and overlooks Morecambe Bay.
Access and Facilities
Morecambe is easily accessible by car via the M6 motorway and the A683. If travelling by train, Morecambe station is just a short walk from the beach. Local buses also connect the town to nearby villages and attractions, making it convenient for visitors with or without vehicles.
