Mary’s Shell is a fascinating art installation on Clevely’s Beach that's one of the top attractions in the area. The art installation is situated on the sands of the seafront near the Jubilee Gardens. When the tide is low, you can see the sculpture and climb inside to get a good look at its design.
The edifice is a great tourist attraction that is still attracting locals and visitors today. It is a swirling metal sculpture that stands majestically on the beach, reflecting the sunshine. The striking sculpture is one of the most interesting attractions in Blackpool town.

Mary’s Shell highlights
Mary's Shell is part of the Mystic Coast art trail that celebrates the myth of the Sea Swallow, a whimsical children's book about local legends and lore. The sunken villages and petrified forests in the story are nearby, bringing the story to life.
When you enter the sculpture, you can hear the sounds of the sea amplified and read the words of the Sea Swallow on the walls. After exploring the sculpture, you can take a relaxing stroll on the coast for spectacular sea views. The site is peaceful and serene at any hour of the day, but especially at sunrise and sunset.
Good to know when visiting Mary’s Shell
Mary's Shell is free to visit, since it was designed as a public art installation. You'll find shops and restaurants nearby, as well as an ice cream van for refreshments. You could also spend time on the beach enjoying the sand and surf.
Mary’s Shell is an open beach area, so you won't find public parking areas on site. To visit, park at one of the nearby parking areas or shops and walk over to the beach to view it. Several promenades are nearby to enjoy more seaside attractions and dining.
