Waterside stands at the intersection of the SouthPromenade and Coronation Road, which runs parallel to the town’s main high street, Victoria Road West. The town also boasts parks and woodland, numerous tourist attractions and entertainments, but two of its greatest draws are undoubtedly its attractive beach and promenade. In fact, the unusual design of its modern seafront was the reason it was recently chosen as the setting for a key scene in the Star Wars spin-off series, Andor.
Just a short (75m) walk away, Victoria Road West is a thoroughfare that features shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants, as well as essential facilities such as banks, building societies and a post office. It also intersects with the town’s heritage tramway; a popular and effective form of local public transport that runs from Fleetwood in the north all the way to the tram depot at Blackpool’s southern end.
