ST ANNES-ON-THE-SEA
St Annes is perhaps my favourite town on the Fylde Coast because it is charming and elegant yet refreshingly unpretentious and down to earth.
St Annes' seafront boasts beautiful sandy beach with ecologically important sand dunes as well as the pretty promenade gardens and the St Annes Beach Huts overlooking the beach.
Just a short walk away is the town centre which has a growing number of great bars, restaurants and cafes, especially on Wood Street and there's also lots of vintage and antique shops scattered across town.
Just off the town centre, you have got the lovely Ashton Gardens which has retained its Edwardian beauty with a pavilion, rose garden, ornamental lake, flower beds and woodland.
