About

The North Shore area of Blackpool is a primarily residential district located north of the town centre. It is characterised by its long stretch of coastline and quieter promenade, which contrasts with the central tourist zones. The area contains numerous guesthouses and hotels, along with local shops and services catering to residents and visitors staying in the northern part of the town.

A notable feature is the presence of the historic Gynn Square, with its distinctive roundabout and seafront gardens. The coastline here includes the North Pier, one of Blackpool's three original piers, offering traditional amusements. The terrain becomes slightly more rugged towards the boundary with Cleveleys, with concrete sea defences lining the shore against the Irish Sea.
