Charlie Adam's fourth goal in five games brought Blackpool their first win in 45 years at the City Ground.
Tangerines' goalkeeper Paul Rachubka smothered a shot from Nathan Tyson before Adam topped a mazy run with a composed finish past Lee Camp.
Tyson, David McGoldrick and Rob Earnshaw went close as the hosts attempted in vain to hit back.
But Jason Euell could have doubled the lead for Ian Holloway's side as Camp diverted his well-struck shot.
Nottingham Forest boss Billy Davies told BBC Radio Nottingham:
"I think we had 19 opportunities to score but we weren't clinical in front of goal.
"We've not been cut open. We gave the ball away in the middle of the park and let them score from one of the very few shots they had in the first 45 minutes.
"We've got to keep working. There are signs there that we can create chances and we can be a side that will cause a problem or two."
Blackpool manager Ian Holloway: "I felt as though we've nicked something, put it in the bag and got out of here with a win.
"The goal that Charlie Adam scored was superb and it would have graced any level of football.
"But our strength today was at the back. I could not fault my lads for effort and we sustained our defensive line and made it very difficult for Forest to break through."
