On your visit to Blackpool, at the end of the Golden Mile, opposite the Pleasure Beach and on the seafront you may notice a peculiar pyramid building. Half is given over to the Grosvenor Casino, and the other half is The Sandcastle Water World. Apparently the Sandcastle used to have parking next to it, it appears however that this has been appropriated by the Grosvenor Casino with warning signs of dire consequences if you do try to park there.

The Sandcastle is on the South Promenade in Blackpool, almost directly opposite the Pleasure Beach. It’s somewhere I went a lot when growing up, but normally off season and mid week when it’s bearable. Weekends or Easter, half term or summer and it’s packed. Most days the pool opens at 10am and closes between 4.30 and 6pm. We arrived ...
