Pilling Sands

Not so much of a beach as a an area of salt marsh. Pilling Sands overlooks the River Lune estuary, at the southern end of Morecambe Bay. Beyond the grassy marsh, a vast area of wet sand is exposed at low tide. Visitors should not stray onto these sands and need to be aware that the tides along this part of the coast come in alarmingly quickly In addition the Morecambe Bay area is notorious for the patches of sinking sands which make it so dangerous.
