About

Pharos ward occupies the coastal stretch of Wyre borough, facing the Irish Sea. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of housing estates and some local shops serving the community. Its western boundary is defined by the coastline, featuring a long, straight promenade and a wide, sandy beach. The land is largely flat, with the urban area giving way to open fields and agricultural plots further inland.

A notable local landmark is the Rossall Point Observation Tower, a modern structure for viewing coastal birdlife and marine conditions. The ward contains the grounds of Rossall School, a large independent boarding school with extensive playing fields. The terrain is characterised by sea defences and wind-sculpted vegetation along the shore, with residential streets laid out in a grid pattern behind them.
