Oh how I love to be beside the seaside!
Blackpool, Whitby, Scarborough and the Seahouses
We were lucky to
have some amazing weather for our two days in the seaside city of
Blackpool!! We wandered along the promenade and up and down the
piers, taking in the sights and sounds of the exciting place.
The North Pier
The South Pier
The beach looked
lovely on the warm day we had!
The
Blackpool Tower stands at 500 feet high and really stands out from
anywhere you are in the
city.
Fish and Chips at
the beach just had to be done! It was a perfect night for it too!
We just had to
have Blackpool Rock while we were in Blackpool!!
We had a day at
the seaside when we visited Whitby and Scarborough. The sun came out
and made for a lovely day at the two popular tourist towns.
We wandered around the Marina and down the pier at Whitby.

The big stretch of beach at Whitby went on forever and had a lovely backdrop of rolling hills.
We took a 30
minute boat ride out to sea, and heard all about Captain Cook and his
venture from Whitby around the world including Australia! Our boat
was a replica of the boat Captain Cook used, however was half the
size.
Next was the
seaside town of Scarborough. We wandered down the promenade, which
was bustling with families enjoying the weekend.
We stopped by the
fair and the Ferris wheel looked lovely against the bright blue sunny
sky!
We wandered back
through the main town, full of lovely shops. We even spotted a
chocolate kebab!
Scarborough's main shopping street
Chocolate Shwarma!
The Seahouses is a great place to take a boat trip to the Farne Islands. Unfortunately we just missed the last boat trip, however still had a nice wander around and an ice cream!
