Cleveleys beach is one of the filming locations for Andor. By a lucky chance we parked right next to this cafe that they used for scenes in S1 E3 so we took a few photos of ourselves here. It's just a normal beach-front cafe but clever the way they used it to create an other-wordly effect.

H.M.S. Mediator about to attack an enemy convoy off Cape Ortegal, 12th December 1782 (detail), circle of Robert Cleveley, late 18th century (Wikimedia Commons).
Jeffery Raigersfield, son of Baron de Raigersfield, joined HMS Mediator in 1783 as a 12-year-old captain's servant (midshipman) under Captain Cuthbert Collingwood. Raigersfield's nice kit attracted the wrong kind of attention:
He soon noticed that his large chest of clothes, ‘which included ten pounds that was in it, in halfpence and silver, cost my parents one hundred pounds’, began to attract the attention of his messmates whenever he went to unlock it. To begin with it was so full that ‘assistance was necessary to close the lid down before it could be locked up’, but it was not so long before he could close it without help, ‘for I began to lose my clothes, and no one knew anything about them’. [...]
He wrote sorrowfully that ‘as to the mess things that I brought on board in my chest, such as tea, sugar &c, they had been consumed long before for the common good, and my pewter washhand basin, the only visible remains of my more than ample fitting out, was only mine when others were not using it’.
— Dudley Pope, Life in Nelson’s Navy

The Cove Cafe
I haven’t watched it yet, but I’m already struggling with this latest episode of Andor just from the gifs.
For everything that might be good and awesome about the content of it, that's still the beach, and the iconic, painfully recogniseable, cafe by the beach in Cleveleys (Lancashire, UK)
And the device used to fill in the details on Cassian’s paperwork?
That's a 1980′s credit card machine.
It's very jarring, and I’m going to have to prep in advance to watch this or I’ll never be able to take it seriously.
(Or as seriously as I can ever take SW, anyway)

Foam on the beach at Cleveleys. Free fun for the kiddies, so long as you do not mind washing everything thoroughly afterwards.

We went to the beach again today to escape all the hullabaloo going on at the moment. This time we went a bit further north up the coast and visited Cleveleys. The tide was coming in and was almost at its highest point before we left. I don't know what the art is called but we thought it looked like an unfurled croissant.
You can see how much the tide had come in by the time I took the last picture as the croissant had almost disappeared. It's quite an overcast day so the light wasn't great. Of course that's Blackpool Tower you can see in the distance.
