Hiking
A jutting peninsula formed by the Irish Sea, Morecambe Bay and the Wyre Estuary, Rossall Point is a glorious section of windswept coast. The old port town of Fleetwood occupies the area and is home to a handsome sandstone lighthouse and an observation tower.
This stretch is particularly attractive to bird lovers. Ringed plover, knot, sanderling and turnstone are common species here. At high tide, many roost off the narrow beach. When the waters retreat, large flocks can be seen feeding offshore.
