Morecambe Stone Jetty

Morecambe Bay is the biggest expanse of intertidal sand and mudflat in Britain, and from the Stone Jetty you're pointed straight at the classic view: miles of glistening flats with the entire southern Lakeland skyline lined up behind. When the tide is out the channels braid across the sand in patterns that look extraordinary from 100 m up, and at sunset the whole bay turns to molten metal. The jetty itself, with its lighthouse and café at the end, makes a strong foreground subject. The reason for the caution flag is people: the promenade is genuinely busy from spring through autumn, and the Eric Morecambe statue draws a constant crowd, so this is a spot where you TOAL from the open beach away from the prom and keep the drone over sand and water, not over heads. Lancaster City Council confirmed in an FOI response that it has no drone-specific byelaws, which puts you on firmer ground than at many resort towns, but fly like a guest. Also be aware Heysham's nuclear power stations sit about 5.5 km south-west with their own restricted airspace — no reason to be anywhere near it from here, but don't go exploring down the coast. The bay's tides are notoriously fast; if you walk out onto the sands to launch, know your tide times.
