Frequently asked questions

Which area of Lancaster is best to stay in for beaches?
Lancaster isn't directly on the coast, so for beach access, you'll want to stay in one of the nearby coastal towns, with Morecambe being the best option.

Morecambe is a traditional seaside town just a 15-minute drive from Lancaster city centre. Its main feature is the expansive sandy beach, great for leisurely strolls or enjoying the views across Morecambe Bay towards the Lake District mountains. Along the promenade, you'll find the iconic Eric Morecambe statue and plenty of cafes and ice cream parlours.

Morecambe is particularly well-suited for families. The beach offers ample space for children to play, and there are traditional amusements and arcades that provide classic seaside entertainment. The town also hosts various events throughout the year, adding to its appeal for a family holiday.

For couples looking for a relaxed coastal break, Morecambe also offers lovely sunset views over the bay.
How much does a beach hotel in Lancaster cost?
Prices for beach hotels in Lancaster vary, but you can find a great deal from £81 on Expedia. You're likely to find lower rates if you're travelling during the off-peak season or mid-week. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Lancaster?
The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Lancaster is during the summer months, particularly July and August. These months offer the warmest weather, with average temperatures around 18-20°C, making them ideal for enjoying the coastline and nearby seaside towns.

During this peak season, the beaches and coastal attractions are bustling, and you'll find a lively option superb for families and those seeking a traditional British seaside holiday. It's an excellent time for activities like building sandcastles, exploring Morecambe Bay, or taking a scenic walk along the promenade. Many hotels will offer family-friendly entertainment, and local events often take place.

As another option, June presents a fantastic alternative. While still offering pleasant weather for coastal activities, with temperatures averaging around 17°C, you may find better value on hotel stays and it can be easier to secure reservations at popular establishments.
What beach activities should we do in Lancaster?
Lancaster isn't directly on the coast, so for beach activities, you'll want to head to nearby coastal towns like Morecambe or Arnside.

Morecambe, just a short drive or bus ride from Lancaster, offers a classic British seaside experience. Its promenade stretches for miles, great for a leisurely stroll or a cycle, and the sandy beach is ideal for building sandcastles or simply relaxing. Don't miss the iconic Eric Morecambe statue, which is a popular photo spot, and the Midland Hotel, an art deco masterpiece right on the seafront. Families will find plenty to keep children entertained, from donkey rides to amusement arcades.

Arnside, a little further afield but still easily accessible, provides a more tranquil coastal experience. Located on the Kent Estuary, it offers stunning views across Morecambe Bay towards the Lakeland fells. The beach here is a mix of sand and shingle, and it's a wonderful spot for birdwatching or enjoying a quiet walk.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Lancaster for you.
