Why You SHOULD Visit St Anne's-On-The-Sea - Seafront TOUR, Lancashire
Just two miles from the bright lights of Blackpool, Lytham and St Annes are worlds apart in both character and atmosphere. The seaside towns are nestled along a picturesque stretch of coastline lined with well-tended lawns, a boating lake, and pretty parks.
With an expansive sandy beach Victorian pier, historic windmill, a ‘royal’ golf course, and stylish independent shops, the dual seaside towns of Lytham and St Annes continue to remind us why we all love the British seaside so much.
Since 2012 the now award-winning St Annes Beach Huts, including an award at the Lancashire Tourism Awards 2015, have given us another reason to spend more time on this part of the Fylde coast.

My wife She Wolf and I usually stay, just up the road, in the King`s Suite at the Best Western Lothersdale Hotel. Not been to St Annes, before. Thanks for showing us a round, next time we`re down in Morecambe we`ll certainly take time out to go visit St Annes.
St Annes, together with its 'partner', Lytham, contain many, many gems of real interest. Of course you can't include all of them in this sort of walk-through, but others may be interested to know that the War Memorial in Ashton Gardens shows something very rarely seen on War Memorials of that era - a shell-shocked soldier, a grieving widow and women both on active service and on the Home Front. It is truly beautiful and very moving.

Lizzie I really like St annes
Aaw, great memories for me of days out with my mum and dad when I was a child. We’d walk around the gardens, go on one of the boats on the lake and finish off the day with fish and chips by the windmill at Lytham. Happy days.

Full of famous faces from the past
Im from Sweden, but my grandparents have lived in St Annes for the past 35 years. Spent every summer of my life over there, unfortunately they're moving back to Sweden now... Going to miss walking the promenade and playing golf at St Annes old links during the summers. Such a lovely place, great video!
That brings back some memories. I used to go there often as a child with my parents. It hasn't changed much except that it used to have a salt water open air swimming pool which I think was where the "boating pool" and lifeboat station is now. It must be 50 years since I was there. I hope the pier gets some attention soon. It's looking pretty ropey underneath.

My Childhood. I grew up in At Anne's from the early 70s to the mid 80s. Great memories sand yachting, The Vic, The Talbot ,The Queens. Dutton Foreshaw Leyland dealers. Woolworths. Loved growing up there
Lytham st Anne's and Southport are absolutely stunning places. Top class sea side area's. Blackpool is very busy, but Lytham is 5 mins down and so much nicer 😊😊
Adorable. Flying over from New York to Lytham St Annes for a wedding. Can't wait.
Beautiful camera work, Tim. Just catching up on some viewing and I think St Anne's is going on my ever-increasing bucket list. The gardens and beach are both gorgeous. Thanks for the look see!

I live just down the road from St Annes and I definitely much prefer enjoying a day out there to Blackpool. That sunset was beautiful.
Lytham and St Annes is lovely....quite an expensive place to live but has a lovely high street with lots of independent shops, cafes and restaurants as well as a stunning beach.....Can also recommend going through Blackpool to Thornton Clevelys which also has a stunning promenade and beach

St annes was my 1st ever holiday away from Manchester in 1985 when I was 9.As a family in them days my mam and dad done the best they could with 3 young children so going to St annes was the best thing ever🤣.I've been all over the world since but I still regularly visit St annes and lytham as I live in Clitheroe in the ribble valley so it not far away.Me and the Mrs will definitely move to lytham in a couple of years to be beside the sea.🙏

We was recommended St Annes years back and we still find ourselves going every year. This year we went Haven's Cala Gran which we ended up loving and spent one day at St Anne's. The beach sells itself and the resturaunts are always good. The chippy is always packed on a hot day. This video doesn't even cover all the shops either. It's just a nice place to go if you're looking for weekend stay.

Me and my family quite often go to Blackpool, the last time we went, I was driving, decided to drive through St Annes on the way in one day as our hotel was further away than normal. Even though it was night time, and we only drove along the seafront for around 1 mile, it is such a beautiful little place. The sand dunes and the pier are awesome

I stayed with friends in one of the seafront hotels in St. Annes. Inn On The Prom. We went September 2020 when things were opening, but there was still mask wearing when in the main foyer. Allowed dogs, my friend brought her little terrier cross. It was a nice hotel, but it got pretty busy. St. Annes itself is a lovely little gem. Nice walks on the front and just behind the back of the seafront hotels there's your standard shops and little cafes and eateries.
This was a really nice walk Tim! Thanks. :)

Really great video. St Anne's is wonderful. Stayed here in 2017 with the family. Even at the height of summer it wasn't too busy, beach is gorgeous, plenty to do with the pier, golf, walking or just relax on the beach. Short hop to Blackpool on the train if you want, have a go on the Big One. Would definitely recommend.

When we were kids, we used to holiday a lot here. At the end of the pier, which burned down, there was a RNLI museum, a bar and nightclub, a small aviary and aquarium and an even smaller crazy golf course. On the pier itself was a small go-cart track( but they looked more like dodgem cars) and a drinks machine that sold Coca-Cola that was so icy cold, it used to freeze your throat!

As a resident of St Annes, thanks for this excellent vid! The jetty at 16:00 was part of the original pier which was burned down in about 1978 - check out some historical pictures.
Going to Blackpool next week, we plan to visit St Ann's and going to give that train cafe thing a go, looks different, reminded me that back in the late 60's or early 70's (I was only a wee whipper snipper at the time) in Ingoldmells Skeggy there was a double decker bus made in to a fish and chip restaurant with the seating on the top deck, never forgot it.

The official name for the town is Lytham St Annes, but there are three distinct bits to it. St Annes on Sea, Ansdell and Fairhaven, and Lytham. All have their own identities and grew up as separate
he he - with that tractor engine idling in the back ground the train illusion was completed Did you ever think you would be lucky enough to live your life with your lovely wife - new born child and have a job which is basically wandering the seaside and enjoying its attractions ?
