Silting and changing currents mean tides rarely venture in, which is great for power kites and moody photos, less so for bathing.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cMorecambe is a different kettle of cockles, with the water coming up to the prom twice a day and then drawing back to the sea. This brings other benefits besides a quick dip close to where you left the car.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cThe foreshore is a haven for birds and the sands left behind by the retreating tide are a whirl of shifting patterns, framed by the southern fells of the Lake District. No wonder Turner painted Morecambe Bay during his Cumbria trip.\n<\/p>\n<p>  Best beaches in the UK<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cThe statue of Eric Morecambe shows the country\u2019s favourite comic in his \u201cBring Me Sunshine\u201d dance-pose, with binoculars dangling. That\u2019s Morecambe: fun, feathered things and nostalgically harking back past times.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The newspaper recommended <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk\/news\/25260288.midland-morecambe-among-uks-best-coastal-hotels\/?rel=cl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Midland<\/a> if you\u2019d like to make your stay longer and are looking for a hotel.
