Morecambe Bay
6 years agoMorecambe Bay is a huge Bay at the Seaside Town of Morecambe, situated a few miles South of the beautiful Lake District.
The bay is actually the largest expanse of intertidal mudflats and sand in the UK, covering a staggering 310 km²!
Morecambe is your archetypal seaside town and has been occasionally described as a mini Blackpool, though it’s location with views of the nearby Lakeland mountains set it apart as a beautiful spot.
The bay is notorious for its quicksand and fast moving tides. The tide is reputed to come in ‘as fast as a horse can run’.
Expect chop and flat water, perfect for practicing those freestyle moves.
Morecambe Bay will work on anything from SW clockwise through to NNE. S is always gusty, SSW is sometimes gusty. SW is the prevailing wind direction.
