The seven mile long coast line and its sea life offers the visitors a cool feast during summer. Hence it is called as coastal hamlet.

This aquarium is located near the Centre Pier on Promenade. It hosts many rare marine species like the sea horse, slender pipefish, bow - mouth guitar shark and many more. The sea life centre in Blackpool attracts a large number of tourists around the world especially for its tunnel walk and the interactive rock pool experience.

Walk – Through Shark Tank

The special feature of this Sea Life centre is the walk – through shark tank. This tank consists of various types of fishes and sharks like the ray shark and bow – mouth guitar shark. The tank has got a walking passage in between which makes us feel very close to the sharks. This would be an amazing experience for the marine admirers. A sense of fear would be there in every one’s mind while going through the sharks. One can spot the blunt – nosed sharks swim across while moving through the tunnel and have a great feel around them.

A safe rockpool is created with mild and harmless marine creatures like crab, starfish, sea squirt and other shelled creatures. This is also called as a touch pool. The visitors are allowed to touch and hold the crabs in their hands. There will be guides to help the visitors in holding crabs without being nipped. Touching the live star fish would be a great joy for the visitors. The visitors can also feed these creatures. They can watch the little creatures moving and feeding.
