Thousands of years ago Lincolnshire's coastline looked very different than it does today. The North Sea was dry land with forests stretching all the way to Scandinavia. These forests were home to millions of trees but, as sea levels rose over many centuries, all of these trees slowly perished and today their remains - known as the submerged forest - can be seen at very low tides. This phenomenon is visible at various places along the Lincolnshire coast, Sutton on Sea is one place worth a visit to see if you can see this for yourself.
With a coastline stretching for dozens of miles, Lincolnshire’s beaches are as varied as they are beautiful. From quiet coves to long stretches of sand that span as far as the eye can see… there’s something for beach lovers of all kinds in the region.
Skegness was one of the UK’s first traditional seaside resorts and so it’s only natural that it has now become one of the premier destinations for bucket and spade holidays. But there’s also a quieter side to the region’s coastline, just waiting to be discovered.
Here you can enjoy quiet evening walks on the beach, take your dog for a walk (they’ll love jumping in the shallow waters) or build the ultimate sandcastle with the kids… this is what beach holidays are all about!
