Beach hut north of Mablethorpe

Beach hut north of Mablethorpe

We’re on “staycation” at the moment, and today took a day trip to our local coast in Lincolnshire.  We headed to Mablethorpe, known to the locals as “the village of the daleks” due to the unusually high number of motability scooters in town (and it is true!)

A very traditional British seaside resort, with beach huts (although some unusual designs as you can see), donkeys on the beach, sticks of rock for sale, only bucking the trend with a complete absence of “kiss me quick” hats and both a nearby on-shore and off-shore wind farm.

A beautiful coastline with great beaches, and the pinnacle is surely the Gibraltar Point nature reserve just south of Skegness; maybe it was the fact that it was such a vivid and welcome change from it’s neighbouring resort, or the fact that the sun finally came out when we got there, but the peace and tranquility was stunning.

Selected highlights below.
