A trip to the seaside is a must-do during the summer months; nothing beats being by the sea on a sunny day. Scattered along the Cumbrian coastline are plenty of charming towns and villages which are just waiting to be explored.
Often overlooked in favour of more traditional beach resorts, these hidden gems offer visitors a relaxed experience away from the crowds. Not to mention they’re just a stone’s throw away from the beautiful scenery of the Lake District.
Nestled along the estuary of the River Kent, the village of Arnside overlooks Morecambe Bay and boasts impressive views of the Lake District fells. A former fishing port, the village experienced a surge in visitors during the 19th century when pleasure boats sailing from Morecambe and Fleetwood would dock there.
