Re: Blackpool beach, pay as you use areas
 

I wouldnt pay to sit there!! Like i went southport two weeks ago and you had to pay to get your car on the beach. And we was like " no way!" however they guy who you gota pay wasnt there so we got out of the charge but its rediculous! Everything these days youve gotta pay for but like the saying " nothings free in life"! :)

Blackpool is a law unto its self now.since like Blackburn it thought it could manage on its own,,..
We live in Cleveleys and its much nicer and cleaner and to my knowledge they dont charge for the beach.

But there's been a charge to park on Southport beach for at least 40 years. I don't know what they charge these days, I haven't been for quite a while, but I bet it's still cheaper than a multi-storey.

I like Cleveleys - more compact so not much walking about needed. It does get crowded a bit and so all the places to sit down get occupied quick.
I either take my own 'chair-in-a-bag' or have rest in the Orion Bingo. A few more street cafes wouldnt go amiss nowadays as the summers get better.
