You don’t need a license to fish the sea and the sea (as far as I’m aware) is anywhere tidal up to the first bridge across a river – i could be wrong but I know to fish the ‘dougie’ where we do a license isn’t needed

The easiest, if all you want to do is walk, is drive down <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Beconsall+Lane+in+Hesketh+Bank&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=43.037246,81.298828&ie=UTF8&hq=Beconsall+Lane&hnear=Hesketh+Bank,+Preston,+PR4,+UK&ll=53.701864,-2.844429&spn=0.015777,0.039697&t=h&z=15&iwloc=A" rel="nofollow">Beconsall Lane in Hesketh Bank</a> and walkthrough the boat yard at the bottom and turn left. If you're fishing it better to try and go down one of the tracks off <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Guide+Road+in+Hesketh+Bank&sll=53.701864,-2.844429&sspn=0.015777,0.039697&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Guide+Rd,+Hesketh+Bank,+Preston,+Lancashire+PR4+6XS,+United+Kingdom&ll=53.713168,-2.847648&spn=0.015772,0.039697&t=h&z=15" rel="nofollow">Guide Road</a> as that will help you get nearer the action, and river, if you have a lot of gear to carry.
