North Shore
0.7 miles from city centre
Need some peace and quiet? Then you’re in the right place. North Shore’s a far cry from the hullabaloo of the centre. Residents busily run errands and older visitors enjoy the sea breeze on park benches. For a taste of Blackpool’s glory days, head to the legendary North Pier, where stand-up, bingo and palm-reading are the order of the day.
Places to stay from £16 per night
Blackpool Centre
In the city centre
Blackpool’s city centre has a little something for everyone. During the day, kiddywinks giggle at SEA LIFE Blackpool, and families share mealtime moments at Harry Ramsden’s. At night, the party commences! Happy-go-lucky revellers cavort through the streets, then pile into clubs like Popworld and Domain for shots and thumping beats.

South Shore
1.7 miles from city centre
Looking for fun? Shore thing! This area is home to Blackpool’s top frolics. The Pleasure Beach draws in squealing crowds with its array of hair-raising rides. South Pier’s Adrenaline Zone lives up to its name, with bungee-based thrills aplenty. Nature lovers shouldn’t miss SEA LIFE Blackpool – home to sharks, rays and the world’s biggest crab.
Places to stay from £18 per night
For a beach holiday along the western coast of the United Kingdom, head to the seaside city of Blackpool. Its golden sandy beaches and multitude of theme parks are sure to delight visitors of all ages.
One of the top things to do in Blackpool is to visit Blackpool Pleasure Beach – a historical amusement park renowned for its old-school rides, live performances and fast roller coasters. A short walk along the Promenade will take you to Sandcastle Waterpark, where a range of exciting water slides await you. Further down the coast, there’s a popular indoor entertainment centre, Coral Island, which offers arcade games, a casino as well as rides in a pirate-themed setting.
Add a bit of old-world charm to your Blackpool holiday by visiting the iconic Blackpool Tower. This late 19th-century landmark is home to an observation platform and a magnificent ballroom where you can waltz to the tunes of a Wurlitzer organ. A quick stroll towards the coast and you'll reach Blackpool Illuminations – a seasonal light show featuring artistic displays. For a relaxing time, head to Stanley Park which has gardens, a lake and a bandstand.
Blackpool’s Irish Sea coastline is a major attraction for holidaymakers. Divided into three sections, it features not just golden sandy beaches but several other places to visit too. At North Pier, you’ll find souvenir shops, bars and cafés while the South Pier has a Blue Flag beach and amusement arcades. The Central Pier features a massive Ferris wheel.

Plenty to do in Blackpool for all ages and for all weather - we had a sunny day and enjoyed exploring the piers and amusements and then a comedy show in the evening at the Blackpool Comedy Club which was an excellent finish to our day. We also went to the Grand theatre later in the week to see 2:22 A Ghost Story which was also great.

walked along the Promenade , was nice and clean(no doggy doo). Even though it was raining it was pleasant enough walk, crossed road and went into a few arcades , had some fun and found a nice quirky café in the top of one arcade(Blackpool amusement's) which was lovely and cheap. lots of the shop fronts were still closed and this was around 10am , most don't open till around 11am ish . overall , its a nice place to visit.
Pine lodge hotel was disgusting!
24 April 2024
Pine lodge hotel was disgusting! Wallpaper peeling off walls, condensation on windows, hairs in the beds, the bedding was dirty, floors were dirty. I paid for two nights but l left the next day as I was unable to sleep, I booked via booking .com. Based on my experience, NO l would not recommend Blackpool, Pine lodge hotel or booking.com who displayed false images of the hotel including a dining room which this hotel didn't have, it also doesn't seem to have a complaints dept!

Blackpool has everything family's need me and my hubby walked from the grand Hotel which I would highly recommend by the way to stargate although it was busy the sun was shining on the way we stopped at the velvet coaster and had a pint on the terrace.

Blackpool is Blackpool !! It is a Marmite resort but you will never know it if you don't try it. Eating out is infinitely variable and all tastes are catered for. The tram service and it's staff is brilliant so part the car and use the tram
