Mablethorpe
Mablethorpe is a small seaside resort on the coast of Lincolnshire, England. In the nineteenth century it was also a centre for ship breaking during the winter.
Attractions at the resort include a seal sanctuary, a small fairground and the sandy beach. The town was much visited by Alfred Lord Tennyson.
Some consider Mablethorpe to be a charming place: it is not particularly commercialised, and has the feel of a 1960s resort. Its beach is long, wide and flat, with golden sand. A large earth bank serves as a sea defence, and there is a sand train to take visitors to the north end of the beach, where there is a zoo. So far Mablethorpe has remained immune from the large caravan parks that now dominate resorts such as Skegness and Ingoldmells , enabling it to retain much of its character.
