My tip for people visiting Lytham St. Annes is this:
Lytham St. Annes isn’t actually a single town!
It is the name given to the larger area that incorporates the towns of Lytham and St. Annes (and smaller areas like Ansdell), but most people assume that there is a single town called Lytham St. Annes.
St. Annes (sometimes called St. Annes-on-Sea) is the larger of the two towns, but not by a lot, and it is the first town south of Blackpool. A lot of people who say they’ve visited Lytham St. Annes, and who haven’t realised that there is more than one town, will actually have visited St. Annes, as it is the first town they come across when travelling south from Blackpool. However, once you have visited St. Annes, if you continue to go south along the coastline, you will come to Lytham! Lytham has its own town centre, shops, neighbourhoods etc, and it would be such a shame to miss it out!
Yes, I’m biased – I live in Lytham – but I always think that it’s such a shame when people want to see Lytham St. Annes, but accidentally miss out on seeing half of it, ie: Lytham!
