​Looking for a seaside holiday where both you and your furry best friend can have a blast? Look no further than Morecambe! This charming Lancashire town has a rich history, stunning views, and a welcoming atmosphere for dogs and their humans.

A Town with a Past (and Plenty of Lampposts for Sniffing!)

Morecambe wasn't always the holiday haven it is today. Back in the day, it was a bustling port known for its fishing industry. In fact, it's even rumoured that the Romans may have used the natural harbour way back when! (Okay, maybe your dog isn't that interested in Roman history, but you might be!). It grew in popularity as a seaside resort in the Victorian era, becoming a favourite destination for holidaymakers.

Morecambe Today: Still Fetching Awesome Memories

Today, Morecambe is a vibrant town with a focus on fun. While fishing boats may have given way to ice cream vans, the town still offers plenty to see and do, especially if you've got a four-legged friend in tow:

  • Beaches: Morecambe's expansive coastline offers plenty of space for dogs to stretch their legs and enjoy a run on the sand. (Just be mindful of any restrictions in certain areas, especially during peak season.)

  • The Promenade: Take a leisurely stroll along the iconic promenade, enjoying the sea air and stunning views across Morecambe Bay. Your dog will love all the new smells!

  • Dog-Friendly Cafes and Pubs: Many establishments in Morecambe welcome well-behaved dogs, so you can enjoy a coffee or a pint without leaving your furry pal behind.

  • Happy Mount Park: Is great for dogs to run around and burn off some energy.

Why Morecambe is Perfect for Dog-Friendly Holidays:

  • Space to Roam: Morecambe offers wide-open spaces and long stretches of coastline, giving your dog plenty of room to explore.

  • Welcoming Atmosphere: The town is generally very dog-friendly, with many businesses catering to canine companions.

  • Beautiful Scenery: Both you and your dog will appreciate the stunning views across Morecambe Bay and the surrounding countryside. (Especially if you're throwing a ball with that view!)

  • Great Value: Compared to some other seaside resorts, Morecambe offers great value for money, meaning you can spend more on treats for your dog!
