Enjoy a Winter Break by the Sea in Lytham St Annes

Who says seaside holidays are only for summer? At The Sea Croft Bed, Breakfast & Bar in Lytham St Annes, we love the coast most in winter. The sea air feels fresher, sunsets glow golden, and cosy evenings make everything feel slower and more special.

If you’re planning a winter break by the sea, here are ten easy hacks to make your stay warm, relaxed, and unforgettable.

1. Layer Up and Stay Cosy

The Lancashire coastline can be brisk in winter, but that’s part of its charm. Dress in breathable layers, grab a waterproof coat, and take on those refreshing beach walks. The sea breeze will wake up your senses!

2. Pack a Flask for Seaside Brews

Nothing feels better than sipping a hot drink while watching the waves. Bring your favourite flask and fill it with tea or cocoa for your stroll. Prefer to stay warm indoors? We’ll happily pour you one at the bar when you get back to The Sea Croft.

3. Choose a Room with Comfort in Mind

After a day exploring, a hot shower or long soak is pure bliss. Every room at The Sea Croft offers modern ensuite facilities, comfy beds, and warm, homely touches — perfect for your winter escape.

4. Catch the Winter Sunsets

Winter sunsets along St Annes Beach are truly spectacular. Head towards the Pier or North Promenade dunes for golden reflections and peaceful views. Don’t forget your camera — the light is stunning!

5. Enjoy the Peace of the Off-Season

Winter brings calm to the coast. You’ll find quieter cafes, easy parking, and miles of serene beach walks. A winter break by the sea gives you time to slow down, recharge, and reconnect.

6. Warm Up with Local Food

From hearty breakfasts at The Sea Croft to cosy lunches at Zest or No Filter Coffee House, local flavours make winter special. Or head to The Trawl Boat Inn for a relaxed evening meal after your day of exploring.

7. See the Lights at Blackpool Illuminations

The famous Blackpool Illuminations shine bright into the early winter months. Just a short drive from St Annes, it’s a magical way to add sparkle to your stay.

8. Create Your Own Cosy Night In

Bring your favourite book, series, or board game and unwind in our lounge or your room. With free Wi-Fi, a warm welcome, and a quiet atmosphere, The Sea Croft is made for cosy winter nights.

9. Explore Local Hidden Gems

Take a stroll through Ashton Gardens, visit the Lytham Heritage Centre, or browse the boutiques on Clifton Street for local gifts and seaside charm. Winter is the perfect time to explore at your own pace.
