As part of our occasional visits to the United Kingdom’s seaside resorts out of season we hit Skegness, Lincolnshire in March of 2011.
The beach was sandy and barren, with a flat North Sea to look out on. It may look uninviting but these sorts of wide open views always appeal to me. As a bonus my wife’s eagle eyes spotted a starfish in the sand.
Away from the sands of Skegness beach we took a nose around some of the nearby amusement park and surroundings. Again, while it may look downbeat, barren, and grimy there was still none of that unwelcoming feel that only Blackpool has ever visited upon us when we hit our coastal towns and cities.
