Morecambe South (Stone Jetty Area)
Lancashire
The Stone Jetty end of Morecambe offers long seafront walks with panoramic views across the bay to the Lakeland mountains beyond. The promenade here feels more spacious than the central resort strip, and the stone jetty itself provides a satisfying focal point for a walk. At low tide, the bay opens up into a vast expanse of sand and mudflat that stretches seemingly to the horizon, giving the whole area a dramatic, almost otherworldly quality.
Dogs are welcome year-round on this dog friendly beach, though some seasonal restrictions apply on certain sections — check Lancaster City Council's PSPO for details. The extreme tidal range of Morecambe Bay means the beach transforms completely between high and low water, and the incoming tide moves dangerously fast, so keeping an eye on tide times is essential. The firm low-tide sand suits long walks, and the mix of sand and mud provides rich scenting ground for curious dogs.
