The Lincolnshire coast has a choice of stunning stretches of sand for you to visit and we have a range of Lincolnshire holiday homes for sale nearby, so you can return year after year to rediscover your favourite spots.
Skegness Beach
1. Anderby Creek
21 min drive from Mablethorpe Chalet and Caravan Park
Anderby Creek is one of Lincolnshire’s best kept secrets, and is the perfect place to get away from the crowds and enjoy this secluded spot. Anderby Creek is a quiet hamlet with a beach that is backed by sand dunes. There is little to disturb the peace here which makes it the perfect spot for children wanting to create their masterpiece sandcastle, find their favourite shell to take home and treasure or find crabs in the rockpools.
2. Cleethorpes
48 mins drive from Mablethorpe Chalet and Caravan Park
Cleethorpes is the best of both worlds, with access to the busy town and a sandy beach within a 5-minute walk of each other, everything you might need is close by. If you want a snack or a hearty meal, there is a large selection of great places to grab a bite to eat. You can even have sea views whilst you enjoy your meal, as there is a fish and chip shop on the pier which comes highly recommended - a visit to the beach wouldn’t be complete without a taste of the seaside for your dinner.

5. Chapel Six Marshes
23 min drive from Mablethorpe Chalet & Caravan Park
Chapel Six Marshes takes its name from the marshlands which are directly behind the sand dunes. This area is a wildlife haven and some have claimed to have seen seals from the shore. Recently a ‘Sound Tower’ landmark has been installed on the beach. It was designed as a viewing tower and to resonate the sound of the wind that blows so strongly along this part of the land. If you are planning on staying there for the day, make sure you bring your windbreak!

There are vast areas of open grassland which are home to rare wildflowers and insects. The saltmarsh makes a great home for birds. While you are there you may spot skylark, meadow pipit, little tern or ringed plover, sit quietly with your binoculars and marvel at the stunning birds and their displays.
