Storth and Sandside are neighbouring coastal villages in the unitary authority of Westmorland and Furness, sitting on the edge of Morecambe Bay and close to the Arnside & Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The setting is defined by saltmarshes, mudflats and limestone outcrops, which support rich birdlife and make the lanes and coastal paths popular with walkers and wildlife watchers.
Historically these are rural communities with roots in farming and small‑scale coastal trade; today they combine a quiet village atmosphere with a local tourism economy and many commuters to nearby towns. The strong sense of local history, active village life and easy access to places such as Milnthorpe and Arnside keep them attractive both to visitors and to people looking for a peaceful base by the coast.
