Arnside Beach

Arnside combines the unique tidal drama of Morecambe Bay with the limestone landscape of the Kent Estuary, creating a distinctive coastal environment unlike anywhere else in Cumbria. The beach area reveals vast expanses of sand and mudflats at low tide, perfect for exploring with local guides who can safely navigate the famous quicksands and tidal bores that make this area so fascinating. The town itself perches on limestone cliffs above the estuary, offering spectacular viewpoints from Arnside Knott and the famous viaduct, while the RSPB reserve provides excellent birdwatching opportunities. This is a place for adventurous exploration, guided walks across the bay, and witnessing one of Britain's most powerful tidal phenomena in a setting of outstanding natural beauty.
