Where to stay in North Shore
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
The promenade side is the difference. North Shore holds the stretch of Queen's Promenade that runs on towards Bispham, so a stay here trades the middle of Blackpool for the northern end of the same seafront. The Church of St Stephen on-the-Cliffs and St Paul's Worship Centre are the suburb's named addresses.
A room on this side suits travellers who want the sea and the walk to Bispham more than the middle of the town.

About North Shore
What are the main landmarks in North Shore?
Two dedications carry the suburb. The Church of St Stephen on-the-Cliffs, Blackpool carries the cliffs in its own name, and St Paul's Worship Centre is entered alongside it on the same short list. Queen's Promenade is the third thing worth naming here.
Beyond those, North Shore's interest is the front itself, running between Blackpool and Bispham.
What is the history of North Shore?
North Shore enters the record as an inner-suburb of Blackpool rather than a settlement of its own, and the description that survives places it along Queen's Promenade between the town and Bispham. No charter attaches. The Church of St Stephen on-the-Cliffs and St Paul's Worship Centre are the fabric the lists keep.
Everything else in the account belongs to the Borough of Blackpool, which takes in the northern part of the town along with the rest of the Lancashire seaside town.
Where is North Shore?
North Shore forms Blackpool's northern part. Queen's Promenade carries it along the sea between the town and Bispham, inside the Borough of Blackpool in Lancashire.
