The principal attraction at Morecombe is the beach located at the town center. The Children's Pond is also ppular. It is located at the Sandylands Promenade, named after the area nefore Morecombe was officially adopted. The Children's pond was popular with children, especially the boys to test out their sail boats. As with most British seaside resorts, there were piers with attractions and treats. There were also a variety attractions built away from the beach which proved of varying popularity. Two piers were destroyed. The West End Pier was partly washed away in a a major storm (November 1977). The remnants had to be demolished (1978). Central Pier had been damaged by fire (1933) and was finally removed (1992). The World of Crinkley Bottom attraction in Happy Mount Park attracted little interest closed only 13 weeks after opening (1994). Then there was the Blobbygate scandal, an issue only the British can understand. Blobby is beyond the understanding of us mere colonials. The closures of Bubbles, Morecambe's swimming pool, and the Frontierland fairground was the nadir of Moresombe as a resort location. In recent years there has been a major civil improvement, a kind of facelift. There is now glistening golden sands replacing the pebble beaches and a 5-mile stretch of level promenade with innovative bird sculptures and public artworks. The Stone Jetty is now a prominant local attraction. The beach has the Lakeland Hills as a backdrop.
