Skegness Beach
A wide, flat sandy beach running the length of the Skegness seafront, from the pier and clock tower out towards Gibraltar Point.
Gibraltar Point National Nature Reserve
At the southern tip of Skegness, this wild stretch of dunes, saltmarsh and shoreline meets The Wash. Each season brings different wildlife: little terns and skylarks in summer, large flocks of waders on autumn high tides, and brent geese and hen harriers in winter. The visitor centre has a café, and the reserve itself is open at all times.
