With miles of golden sand dunes to explore and plenty of parks, adventurers young and old will find plenty to do in the great outdoors.
When the sun shines, you can go for a paddle, get wet in the Splash Park or hire a boat and sail around Fairhaven Lake. Or venture to Blackpool for water slides, wave pools and log flume rides.
Golfers can practice their swing at Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club, a links course that has staged 11 Open Championships and two Ryder Cups.
History buffs can step back in time with the famous Lytham windmill on the green, take a stroll along the Victorian pier in St Annes or a trip to the beautiful Lytham Hall, a fine Georgian house set in 80 acres of parkland.
Lytham St Annes is ideal for good old-fashioned family fun and making memories that last. From a day on the beach and a stroll along the pier, to fun in the penny arcade or a game of cricket on the green, our traditional seaside resort has the lot.
