The North Ocean Hotel is ideally located on the sea front in the north shore area of Blackpool. Only a few minutes in a car, or a short journey from one of the nearby tram stops, the city centre of Blackpool is easily accessible with its wide range of attractions to enjoy. Continue along the Promenade to the Pleasure Beach and the Leisure Piers and ride the rollercoasters if you`re brave. In the evening, experience the magic of the Tower Ballroom, known more famously as the venue for Strictly Come Dancing. Marvel at the Blackpool Illuminations at night with up to 10km of lights from August to November. More Info.
