My wife's family are from Blackpool. Do not be fooled by visitor statistics, in the depths of winter you won't see a soul there, only the foolhardy and the seagulls go out when the wind's blowing off the Oirish Sea - and me. I love it out of season, you have Rossall beach all to yourself and you can walk miles without ever seeing another soul. Every time we go there the dog think's he's died and gone to heaven and so do I; after a bracing walk nothing better than a mug of tea and a steak pudding 'n' chips with lashings of gravy on from the Bispham Kitchen, simply to die for.
In the summer months, it's heaving with coachloads of tourists, mainly from Manchester and Glasgow, and the prices double, the car parks are full and the amusement arcades fill up with pickpockets and tarts. If it's #1 on the tourism list, I'm not surprised, but - really - would you want your town full of chavs, gyppos and cheap B&Bs that act as rent-by-the-hour knocking shops, because that's the reality? It may surprise you, but Blackpool has more than its own share of empty shops, shabby shopping centres filled with pound shops and boarded up pubs.
Give me Dover any day in the summer over Blackpool; the grass is not always greener on the other side. And, Howard is quite right - Dover is not a seaside resort; long may it stay that way.
