Lytham St. Annes enjoys a very fortuitous location that gives it ample traffic from nearby tourist towns like Blackpool and as such Lytham St. Annes is itself something of a vacation destination like many of the small burgs in Lancashire. Many of the towns in this area find that they are turned into default tourist spots because of their proximity to the hot spots of the holiday season and Lytham is no exception. Lytham overlooks the gorgeous Fylde coast so it is just below the tourist juggernaut Blackpool geographically and many of the people that want a more easygoing and low-key holiday will often choose the peace and comfort of the many quaint hotels and cottages in Lytham that provide access to beautiful beaches that aren't overly crowded. St. Annes is a bit north of Lytham and it peers right into the fantastic Irish sea so one can tell that, though the cities are grouped together into one overarching name, they both retain traces of their own identity.
One might say that Blackpool is the tourist destination for average folks and Lytham St. Annes is a more expensive alternative for folks with more money to spend. This is a hard assumption to debunk since the people that live in the area have the highest income out of all of Lancashire. Similarly, many older retirees move to Lytham St. Annes each year to spend out their golden years enjoying sun and fun. Golf is immensely popular in Lytham St. Annes and tourists and residents alike join together to make use of the many pristine and cherished golf courses in town. The Royal Lytham and St. Annes Golf Club is undoubtedly the most familiar of the many lush greens in the city and this particular spot is, for the uninitiated, one of the most reputable courses in the sport; after all, the Club has been the site for the British Open several times during the championship's existence. Naturally, whenever Lytham is deemed the site for the Open an even greater number of visitors and tourists swell up the town.
Don't assume that Lytham St. Annes is just a golf town for old people, though. On the contrary, there is a massive amount of fun activities to do aside from lounging on the beach. The city regularly hosts carnivals and festivals like the famed St. Annes Carnival and there are also many exciting sports events throughout the town. Nature lovers often visit the town because of the gorgeous natural sanctuaries like the Ribble Estuary. Here, one can see rare and endangered bird species as well as gorgeous examples of more common birds. In short, there is a vast amount of enjoyment to be had in Lytham St. Annes and as such it should be considered before you take the family to Blackpool for the tenth time. Whether your love is sports, nature, entertainment, or simply laying on the beach you can be sure that Lytham St. Annes will deliver you into the hands of enjoyment.
