| Dinosaurs on St Annes Beach, just south of Blackpool! |
There are several great vloggers on the Fylde coast covering Blackpool, Fleetwood, Cleveleys, and Lytham St Annes. Here are some of the channels to check out on YouTube. To each their own, some vloggers you'll get on with, others maybe not so much.
1. A Walk on the Wild Side
Vlogger Stephen Cheatley is behind this very active YouTube vlog. Stephen does incidental videos of the Blackpool area and sometimes goes out live.
The first video on the channel is not local, it's actually from Las Vegas on 17 Sept 2006. The first local-ish video seems to be of a rainbow at Wrea Green on 16 Sept 2010. It's not until 2016 that more local video appears, First Flight DJI Phantom Pro Marton Blackpool, and Layton High Rise Flats Blackpool Demolition — that one is amazing, do watch as three tower blocks are blown away in an instant!

2. Visit Fylde Coast
This northern lass, Jane, is a vlogger who originally hails from South Yorkshire and who now finds herself in Cleveleys. Her recent history is that she makes several 10-12 minute long videos on one day a week, then uploads them gradually over the course of the coming week. As well as walk-about or sit-down cakes on Live videos, there's also Brew at Two (BAT) on some Tuesday afternoons. The first video appearing on the YT channel is dated 3 November 2013. Called “Storm Clearing” and is 38 seconds long. Taking in destinations from Fleetwood to St Annes, you'll find a good range of places covered along with colloquial chatter from Jane.

6. Old Blackpool Biker
Channel is not recommended unless you want to develop a headache. Vlogger hides behind the camera, swings it this way and that way or walks along with the camera going up and down. Too much of this channel and a headache will slowly creep up on you. First and many videos taken on or near 'Promenade' to the north of North Pier, Blackpool, as the vlogger emerges onto sea-front from Pleasant Street. Liable to show you the current weather along with relatively poorly informed banter. First video on channel 6 Nov 2020.

A lively voiceover and brisk walks mainly about Blackpool seafront.
