Packing Tips for Your Seaside Stay
The Lancashire coast has plenty of sunshine, but the sea breeze can be unpredictable. We recommend bringing:
- Layers – evenings by the beach can be cool, even in summer.
- Comfortable shoes – ideal for exploring sandy beaches, coastal walks, or Lytham Hall gardens.
- Smart-casual outfit – perfect for dining at local restaurants or enjoying a night at Lowther Pavilion Theatre.
- Raincoat or umbrella – seaside weather keeps us on our toes, but that’s part of the charm!
Exploring Lytham St Annes & Beyond
One of the best things about booking accommodation in Lytham St Annes is how easy it is to explore the Fylde Coast.
- On Foot: St Annes’ beach, pier, and town centre are all just a short stroll from The Sea Croft.
- By Bike: Cycle along the stunning coastal paths, with bike hire available locally.
