So after returning from Blackpool, which I class as one of the UKs best seaside towns! (sorry soft spot!)
I’ve become to question the actual aspect of “The Season” now I’ve visited many times in 2018 and saw the place packed out with near enough all bars open, all attractions open and hotels as far as the eye can see serving B&B, but after visiting a few days ago the place was a ghost town.
Coral Island is one of the major arcades as some of you will may know and this was open however there wasn’t a soul in there. The main bars and restaurants were closed until “March 2019” and was only a canteen style food option available.
Of course the Tower was open but as you can imagine now a single soul around, pretty much like a Zombie Apocalypse they’d of been loosing a high percentage of money on running costs compared to taking physical money.
Bars and Nightclubs were open in the area from 5 in the afternoon and only around 3-5 locals in there, again how can they justify running costs on such cheap drinks deals and no entry fee.
The conclusion is, does the seaside town physically base there “season” around Pleasure Beach as I know this is the main draw but I just find it bizarre that a seaside town can be ram packed from March - November then literally become a ghost town. Surely that isn’t good for the hundreds of local business that have to survive of Pleasure Beach’s guests for the year and hope to make ends meet from November to March to do it all again for the next season.
