The majority of guest houses along the prom are privately owned, hence keeping in with the traditional family image. Although there are some themed hotels on offer now, where you can book yourself into the Elvis suite for example!

The famous Golden Mile covers the strip of road in the central beach area between the North and Central Piers, famous for its amusement arcades, tram and donkey rides, pubs, fish and chip shops and bingo halls.
