| Blackpool Travel Guide for backpackers |
| Mouth breathers and bottom feeders collect here with all their relatives, including the knuckle-draggers and low-brows, but hey, they deserve some fun too. So cast your gentility to winds and join in with the brash, in-your-face vulgarity of the place and enjoy yourself to the utmost. |

 DAILY BUDGET in BLACKPOOL - Quite obviously you can spend a bundle of your hard-earned moola in just one day on the ‘stoopid, but irresistible' rides at Blackpool, but if you catch your breath, pull yourself together and sit down quietly to figure out your budget, then look at the barest minimum of US$53 a day. Then take it from there, with US$53 giving self catering and camping, or staying in hostels, and US$124 a day providing B&B's, one decent meal, and quite a few entry fees. |
Beaches - Stretching seven miles long are wide, sandy beaches littered with the sixteen million sun-seekers who flood into Blackpool time after time.
Illuminations - From September to November over half a million light bulbs are used in a dazzling display decorating the promenade.
Central Pier - This is a great place for day or night entertainment, with ‘The Pier End Family Bar' offering a resident live band.
