About

Morecambe Town is a coastal settlement on the northern shore of Morecambe Bay. The area centres around a long, flat promenade facing the expansive bay and mudflats. Its layout is functional, with residential streets leading directly to the seafront, where the Midland Hotel stands as a prominent 1930s architectural landmark. The rhythm of the area is closely tied to the dramatic tidal shifts that reveal vast sands.

Local life focuses on the central promenade, home to amusements, basic shops, and cafes serving traditional fare. The Stone Jetty extends into the bay, offering views across to the Cumbrian fells. Much of the town's economy and community activity is connected to the working port and the seasonal visitor trade drawn by the bay's unique landscape and birdlife.
