Where is Biscuit's Ball Box, and Where is Beachcomberstannes?

To get to both, park in North Beach car park. Or, walking along this glorious stretch of coastline, look for marker Number 7.

(It's also where you will find the Windsports Centre and HM Coastguard Lytham station.)

Wow - we really do have some incredibly talented people locally. That certainly includes the award-winning artist Kathryn Alice.

She spent six months researching and creating a gloriously detailed narrative illustration, spanning from Fleetwood to Lytham, filled with iconic buildings, nods to the area's rich heritage and cultural references.

You see something different each time you look!

"Lancashire Riviera" is too large to reproduce on here, but see her website for the whole amazing illustration: https://kathrynaliceart.myshopify.com/products/lancashire-riviera

Meanwhile, she kindly shared these sections with us, featuring buildings, people and memories from around St Annes on Sea and Fairhaven.

She has also shared that there is a book on the way, to explain all the fabulous details.

HEADS UP! The Northern Lights are forecast to appear across the UK TONIGHT (Saturday).

If you catch a shot over St Annes on Sea, please share with us.

Shaping up to be a beautiful day in Sunny St Annes.

Why not pop to The Square for a browse and a brew. Or come in to town for lunch and a walk in fresh sea air.

The new wholefood cafe opening soon is advertising for staff. (See image)

First day of Spring, and the colour is returning all over our garden town by the sea.

That includes some lovely results along the Promenade, thanks to hardwork from St Annes in Bloom volunteers.

How cool is this! Recycled Christmas trees buried by hundreds of volunteers a few weeks ago, are already trapping sand and disappearing.

Baby sand dunes!

Great work by the Fylde Sand Dunes team.

As one (pub) door opens, another one closes!

Popular and long-standing eating and drinking venue The Vic St Annes is due to reopen tomorrow (Friday 20th) after an impressive refurbishment. This sneak peek looks amazing!

Meanwhile, Miller & Carter on the outskirts of St Annes on Sea is now shut until 10th April, for its big makeover.

Great to see these pockets of investment in our town.

Why did the hardworking coastguard teams from our coast and Fleetwood take a "school trip minus a packed lunch" to Blackpool Airport?

The crew from HM Coastguard Lytham explained: "Despite what many people think, Blackpool airport is one of the busiest airports in the UK, with around 40,000 aircraft movements a year. This ranges from offshore helicopters 🚁, to spitfires and military planes, to corporate jets, to larger charter flights. With such a busy airspace, and the location of the airport, unfortunately the risk of us dealing with an incident on our coast is quite high. We're sure many of you that are local to the area can recall a few over the years, and we actually dealt with one a few months ago in the marshes around Lytham area.

"It's important that we know how to deal with these incidents and the fire service at the airport are the experts in the field.They delivered a really insightful presentation, with lots of important information for us to utilise."

On a less serious note, they added: " The lights in the eyes of our team's lit up, and as they climbed up the crash tender, it was like watching kids at Christmas."

How wonderful to see emergency personnel working together like this, to keep our coast safe. THANK YOU!

Spotted...look who is out of hibernation! And none the worse after the major clean up of the Promenade Gardens.

Ann Marie Booth found this much-loved local resident looking healthy in the sunshine.

Now lots of young (and not so young) visitors to St Annes on Sea can play spot the terrapin.

One of the town's "hidden gems" is looking lovely, and preparing for some exciting developments!

The team behind Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee Gardens, St Annes In Bloom have been working hard. Especially now this peaceful spot on The Crescent is officially classified as a "pocket park".

Plans have been approved for another mural in the gardens, to add more year round colour.

And volunteers are "reimagining, redesigning, and preparing the space ahead of the next RHS judging".

Thank you! 💚

Lots of improvements underway in our garden town by the sea. But this page is regularly asked why is the pier exterior not getting some TLC?

The short answer is it's owned by a private company, not the local authority.

Also, it is still strong, safe and very vibrant on warm days!

If we continue to visit its cafes, spud hut and arcades, fingers crossed the owners will invest more in its appearance.

And meanwhile, for a Victorian structure exposed to all weathers, tide and time... she still looks great to many people!

An estimated 1,000 lives could be saved in England, if people had access to and used defibrillators (AEDs).

If used within a minute of collapse, the survival rate is 90%.

When an AED isn't used, the survival rate is less than 10%.
💔

This is why Fylde Council has installed a new one at St Annes Beach Hub...the information and meeting place near the Pier.
