Enjoy the best of Morecambe

Morecambe is a classic seaside town with plenty to see and do, making it perfect for a spontaneous day out.

Walk along the promenade

The promenade is one of Morecambe’s biggest attractions. With wide open views across the bay, it is ideal for a leisurely stroll, a morning coffee, or simply sitting and watching the tide come in. The fresh sea air and open space make it a naturally calming place to spend time.

Visit the Eric Morecambe Statue

A visit to the famous Eric Morecambe Statue is a must. Located on the seafront, it is one of the town’s most recognisable landmarks and a popular place for photos.

Explore the Stone Jetty and seafront

The Stone Jetty offers fantastic views and a peaceful place to walk out over the water. Along the promenade, you will also find public art installations and plenty of spots to sit and enjoy the scenery.

Browse shops and enjoy local cafés

From independent shops to the popular Festival Market, Morecambe has plenty to offer if you enjoy browsing. There are also many cafés and places to eat along the seafront, perfect for taking a break and enjoying the view.

Continue to Heysham for history and coastal views

One of the standout features of the Number 5 bus route is that it continues beyond Morecambe to Heysham. This allows you to easily explore a quieter, more historic part of the coastline.

Discover St Patrick’s Chapel and rock-cut graves

The ruins of St Patrick’s Chapel are one of the most unique historical sites in the area. Overlooking the bay, the chapel and its rock-cut graves offer a fascinating glimpse into the past, as well as stunning coastal views.

Visit St Peter’s Church and Heysham village

The heart of Heysham village is St Peter’s Church, a beautiful and historic building surrounded by a peaceful village setting. It is the perfect place for a quiet wander and a change of pace from the busier seafront.

Enjoy coastal walks and Half Moon Bay

For those who enjoy being outdoors, the coastline around Heysham is ideal. Half Moon Bay is a popular spot for walking, relaxing, and taking in the views across Morecambe Bay.

A more relaxed way to explore

Having access to the Number 5 bus from the A5105 means you can enjoy days out that feel easy and unhurried. A quick trip into Morecambe for the promenade and cafés can turn into a full day exploring, especially when you continue on to Heysham.

This kind of convenience is part of what makes time at Morecambe Lodge so enjoyable. It encourages a slower pace of life, where you can focus on simple pleasures like coastal walks, good food, and spending time with family and friends.
