Morecambe sits on the edge of Morecambe Bay, giving it a genuinely distinctive outlook — on a clear day you can see the hills of the Lake District across the water, a view most seaside resorts simply can’t offer.
The bay itself
Morecambe Bay’s vast tidal flats are dramatic to look at, but genuinely dangerous to walk out on without a guide — stick to the promenade and signed areas rather than venturing onto the sands independently.
A traditional resort with Art Deco heritage
The Midland Hotel, an Art Deco landmark on the seafront, and the town’s statue of Eric Morecambe reflect a resort with genuine character and history, alongside the more usual seaside attractions.
Close to the Lake District
Morecambe’s position makes it a realistic base for day trips into the Lake District as well as a seaside holiday in its own right — see our separate Lake District guide.
