TRADITIONAL BUCKET AND SPADE HOLIDAY
EMBASSY THEATRE STAGE
BUCKETS AND SPADES
Seaside towns like Skegness,
Mablethorpe, Sutton on Sea and
Cleethorpes attract the holiday crowds;
ideal for families, they offer excellent
sands and clean waters, perfect for a
traditional bucket and spade holiday.
Attractions include a donkey ride on
Skegness seafront, the thrill of the roller
coasters at Fantasy Island, Skegness
or a more relaxing jaunt on the Sand
Train which travels along Mablethorpe’s
magnificent shoreline.
ENTERTAINING WHATEVER
THE WEATHER
If the weather is not so kind there are
plenty of indoor attractions to keep
you amused. Visit the Natureland Seal
Sanctuary where orphaned or injured
seals washed upon the county’s beaches
are cared for. Enjoy the warm waters
of Butlin’s Splash Waterworld or relax
at a show at the Embassy Centre. On
your Marques is a must for model car
enthusiasts while Church Farm Museum
gives a glimpse of bygone times.
RESERVES AND WILD SPACES
The Lincolnshire coastline is one of the
focal points of the migration of thousands
of birds from Iceland, the Arctic, Siberia
and North and South America in spring,
autumn and early winter. Explore
wildlife reserves just a short drive from
the promenades and crowds. The RSPB
operates sites at RSPB Frampton Marsh
and RSPB Frieston Shore. The Lincolnshire
Wildlife Trust manages nearly 100
reserves and wild spaces in the county
encompassing habitats such as grazing
marshes, ancient woodlands, reeds and
meadows. Donna Nook is a sanctuary
for a colony of grey seals who come
ashore to give birth during late autumn. A
spectacular wildlife scene which attracts
thousands of onlookers each year.
And don’t forget when you come to enjoy
these wonderful coastal assets there is
an excellent choice of accommodation
to suit all tastes and budgets. Look at the
section at the back of this guide to find
some of the best.
