Scalestone Point is a grassy promontory jutting out into Morecambe Bay. During the First World War, it was the site of a gun emplacement, covering approaches to the bay.

Today, the site is occupied by a 'Mother and Child' sculpture, designed by Lancaster artist Shane Johnstone. It was originally commissioned for St George's Quay in Lancaster but was placed at this site in commemoration of the 24 cockle pickers who tragically drowned here in 2004.
