Welcome to Sand Side

Sand Side is a small village located in the county of Cumbria, England. It is situated on the coast of Morecambe Bay, and is known for its stunning views of the sea and the surrounding countryside. The village is home to a small community of residents, and is a popular destination for tourists who come to enjoy the natural beauty of the area.

One of the main attractions of Sand Side is its beach, which stretches for miles along the coast.

These include the ruins of a medieval castle, which dates back to the 12th century, and the remains of a Roman fort, which was built in the 2nd century AD.
