Penny Farm
Hosting competitions is hard work, especially when there’s only a few people, and involves co-operation from the whole team but it is well worth the effort when everyone has such a great time.

Continue down this road, straight over the roundabout and you will enter a 30 zone and reach another set of lights, get into the left hand lane
Turn left at these lights and continue on this road until you reach another set of lights, get into the right hand lane
Bear right at the lights and continue through a residential area, you will reach 2 mini roundabouts side by side

Continue on this road, over the railway bridge and past Lytham/St Annes golf course
you will reach a set of traffic lights, turn left here
almost immediately on your right is the entrance to the council carpark (this is quite hidden so easy to miss!!)
access to the beach is straight off this carpark, because it's a bay there is always beach to walk on even at high tide (but it's usually a good walk to the sea!)
Dogs are allowed on this section of beach all year round but you must pick up after them or you may find youself with a fine.
Other local facilities...
