Blackpool has a lively and entertaining scene for the gay community. The main street where you can find alot of the pubs is Talbot Road, this is located in front of the North Pier and extends inland towards the train station. There are a variety of day and night spots for all tastes, including quiet bars where you can have a relaxing drink, to cabaret bars where you are entertained by drag artists and strippers.
The town of Blackpool seems very tolerant of the hundreds of thousands of gay people who flock to the town each year. It seems extremely well prepared for its popularity as a location for stag and hen nights. These inevitably end in excesses and as a result, the streets can seem threatening to gay people at night, especially if alone.
There are almost 200 gay hotels in the resort which vary in price throughout the year. I stayed at the Derby Hotel on Derby Road and this cost me £125 for the week including breakfast and 3 course evening meal!!
There is lots to do both by day and night in Blackpool, and you will find a great range of shops and restaurants catering for all tastes. Public transport is efficient yet expensive and for this reason, if you are planning to travel alot, it's probably better to get a travel card.
Most places are accessible to people with mobility problems.
Blackpool property is incredibly cheap in comparison to other UK locations. If you have a dream to own your very own hotel by the sea, then in Blackpool this dream can easily become a reality.
How helpful would this review be to a person making a buying decision? Rating guidelines
Sorry for the low rating but a little short and sweet - I was expecting maybe a bit of info on the hotel you stayed in, what you got up to during the day, gay nightlife culture - if any etc . If you add to review I'll happily come back and re-rate this. Nicola

You haven't really spoke about the place itself which is a bit weird! I love the Pleasure Beach. That's it.
