Whilst many people book holidays in Lanzarote fully intent on lying by the pool, the island has a wealth of things to do. So those who can tear themselves away from the sunbeds will find there is plenty to fill the day.

All at Sea

As one would expect on an island, there are lots of sea based sports activities to try. Including wind-surfing, kite-surfing, sailing and diving. The underwater world just off the coast is particularly rich in aquatic life and is the reason Lanzarote has become a favourite spot for scuba-diving. For those who don’t fancy donning a wetsuit, they can still explore life beneath the waves on a submarine from Puerto Calero, one of the most popular excursions in Lanzarote. Surfing is best attempted either on the wild north coast at Famara or in Costa Teguise. And numerous yachts and catamarans are moored in Puerto Calero to take visitors out on the waves.

Animal Magic

With three parks all offering a slightly different animal experience, there is plenty to keep children amused. Donkeys, camels and horses rule the roost at Lanzarote a Caballo, where kids can get their ‘licence’ to ride. Rancho Texas combines several animal shows with a wild-west theme park, whilst Guinate Tropical Park is home to a wide range of birdlife and tropical gardens.

Attractions

The island has a further seven attractions to entice visitors, all of which were designed by Lanzarote artist César Manrique. His vision was to show off his native island without spoiling the beautiful landscapes. His best work can be seen at the most popular tourist attractions of Timanfaya National Park and the Jameos del Agua. The first of these is in the heart of the volcanic region and allows visitors to get up close and personal to the many cones and lava fields.

The Jameos del Agua is an underground adventure, created from a lava tunnel and comprises a former nightclub, restaurant, hanging gardens, music auditorium and swimming pool.

Active Days Out

With two golf courses, Lanzarote is now able to offer the golf enthusiast a bit more choice. The new course at Puerto del Carmen has joined the older Costa Teguise golf club in recent months. Bike hire is a popular option for getting around the resorts, as each is on relatively flat ground, compared with the island inland. But this hilly landscape makes it ideal for hill-walking and offers amazing vistas to those who are prepared to climb some of the many volcanoes and peaks to be found, especially on the Risco de Famara.

Blackpool is an incredibly popular seaside resort found on the North West coast of England, which remains amazingly popular with visitors traveling from the nearby towns and cities which include Manchester, Liverpool, Warrington and more. The resort is also fantastically popular with Scottish folk who often turn up in large groups in a similar way to the groups of factory workers of old on their works day out. At times it seems that the seaside town is nothing but vacation accommodation and visitor attractions and although there is a great deal of Blackpool bed and breakfasts it is still best to book ahead to avoid disappointment. Accommodation varies from the cheerful and cheap to classy five star. You will find many on the sea front alternatively, if you prefer book something far less lively you will find some further away.

People first started to visit Blackpool in the eighteenth century who had visited to enjoy the new fashion of sea bathing. With the advent of the railway, from 1846, the town witnessed more and more folk arriving to”take the cure” as sea bathing was called then. Nowadays folk can get to Blackpool by road, air or railway arriving there much faster than the early Victorian mill workers who could take as long as 48 hours from as close by as Manchester.

About Blackpool Pleasure Beach

The most popular attraction in the seaside town of Blackpool, in Lancashire, which manages to receive approximately 7 million visitors every twelve months, is Blackpool Pleasure Beach. The Pleasure Beach is a funfair of enormous proportions with amazing big rides, just a few are the Pepsi Max Big One, Valhalla, Ice Blast, Grand National, Zipper Dipper and Wild Mouse, as well as many more food booths, sideshows, entertainments, sidestalls and games. The newest big thrill is Infusion, the first ride in the world to feature a suspended looping type of coaster entirely over water.

 A useful tip: If you are visiting Blackpool as a group of folk you can save a substantial amount of cash by buying an unlimited ride wristband especially if you will going on every ride as the cost of each ride soon starts to add up.

Getting There And Bed And Breakfast 

Blackpool is, as said earlier, very easy to get to these days as it is possible to get there by road, air or rail. Arriving by rail you will, more than likely, arrive at Blackpool’s main train station, Blackpool North on Talbot Road. Just a short distance down Talbot Road is Blackpool National Express Coach Station, the main bus station. The other rail station, Blackpool South, is at Waterloo Road, nearer the Pleasure Beach. Blackpool Airport is found approximately two miles south of the town center and was previously known as, Blackpool Squires Gate Airport, one of the oldest airports in the UK.

Blackpool bed and breakfast is generally priced fairly low. Rooms are cheaper out of season but a little more pricey on weekends. Blackpool hotels are at their most costly during the Blackpool Illuminations, which is really peak season in Blackpool.

A useful tip: Some hotels can be noisy and busy especially those between Central and North Pier. If you require in a quieter location take a look beyond the North Pier.
