Outdated Lancashire by-laws which ban activities including beating carpets on the seafront and playing the trumpet on the promenade are to be changed.
The local Morecambe and Heysham bans have been lifted - including cycling on the promenade.
It was not previously allowed under the 1907 rule book, which also warned of fines for those who race any animals on the seafront or "incite" dogs to bark.
The old by-laws included: "No person shall on the seashore, after being required to desist by any constable or officer of the council, incite a dog to bark to the annoyance of any person using the seashore."
Carpet-beating was another concern, with visitors urged not to "beat, shake, sweep or brush or cleanse any carpet, drugget, rug or mat, or any other fabric retaining dust or dirt".
Ringing a bell, sounding a gong or playing a trumpet, or "any other noisy instrument", were also prohibited.
