Welcome to Sand Side

Sand Side is a small village located in the county of Lancashire, England. It is situated on the coast of Morecambe Bay, and is known for its stunning views of the sea and the surrounding countryside. The village is home to a small community of residents, many of whom are involved in the local fishing industry. Sand Side is also a popular destination for tourists, who come to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and natural beauty of the area.

One of the main attractions of Sand Side is its beach, which stretches for miles along the coast. The beach is a popular spot for swimming, sunbathing, and picnicking, and is also a great place to go for a walk or a jog. Visitors can enjoy stunning views of the sea and the surrounding countryside, and can often spot wildlife such as seals and seabirds. The beach is also a popular spot for fishing, and many locals can be seen casting their lines into the water in search of a catch.

Sand Side is also home to a number of historic landmarks and attractions. One of the most notable is the St. Peter's Church, which dates back to the 12th century. The church is a beautiful example of Norman architecture, and is known for its stunning stained glass windows and intricate carvings. Other notable landmarks in the area include the Sand Side Lighthouse, which was built in the 19th century to guide ships into Morecambe Bay, and the Sand Side Nature Reserve, which is home to a variety of rare and endangered species of plants and animals.
