    About The Pier Hotel

    The Pier Hotel sits right on Marine Road with a west-southwest-facing beer garden (260°) opening directly across Morecambe Bay. This is a sunset pub, pure and simple. The medium-sized garden is shaded in the mornings but comes alive from mid-afternoon, and by early evening the sun dropping behind the Lake District fells makes it one of the most spectacular pub views in Lancashire. The terrace catches light across a wide sweep of the western sky — widely regarded locally as some of the best sunset views on the bay.
