No official Blackpool Council statement on beach detecting was found. Detectorists on forums report that the council's beach pages don't mention it. Old munitions have been dug up on Blackpool beach, so take care.
We couldn't find a published rule. Foreshore owned by the Crown Estate follows the Crown Estate's terms; for council-owned beaches, ask the council before you dig. We emailed them on 9 Nov 2026 and will update this page if they reply.
