MABLETHORPE BEACH

Mablethorpe Beach is host to a number of activities for visitors to the area, which includes the extremely popular Mablethorpe beach racing that takes place in the winter months of the season. undoubtedly the highlight of this blue flag beach is the miles of golden sand that can be enjoyed throughout the year, and a walk along this pristine beach is a must for all to the area.

The most popular area of the beach is along the central promenade, this can be accessed from quite a few locations, including Quebec Road and the main entrance which is from the high street. Those who are unsure of getting to this location can type Mablethorpe Beach postcode into their sat nav or mobile phone, and that code is LN12 1RG

Once you are on the central promenade you will find food, drinks, and beach supplies easy to come by, the main walkway has numerous shops to quench your thirst and satisfy your appetite.

Mablethorpe Fairground is easily accessible from here if you want to spend a few hours playing games or trying out the rides, everybody is welcome at the fairground and there are rides and stalls to please people of all ages, admission to the grounds is free.

Public toilets can be found on the central promenade near to The Dunes Complex, opening hours for these are 7am till 9pm during the summer season, and during the winter these toilets are closed.

During a hot day at the beach you can't beat cooling down with a nice cool swim, and with Mablethorpe beach being awarded the blue flag status this means it is the perfect environment to go for a dip, or have some fun with the family.

Towards the end of May and until the beginning of September you can expect to see RNLI Lifeguards on patrol, it is extremely important for the benefit of yourselves and your loved ones that you obey any instructions you see or receive whilst on the beach, on entering the main promenade or on the promenade itself you will see the safety instructions in place, be sure to always obey these rules and make yourself familiar with them. It is strongly advised not to use inflatables whilst in the sea. 

Take a Mablethorpe Donkey ride and enjoy a classic seaside tradition, this is certainly a part of growing up that I remember I used to love, so let the kids jump on and take a stroll along the beautiful beach. 

Since the 2017 season the donkeys have been under new ownership, this has brought a fresh new look to this age old holiday favourite, incorporating new colours and better conditions for the donkeys.

From the 1st of May until the 30th of September dogs are prohibited on Mablethorpe central beach, however the north beach of Mablethorpe which is to the left of the beach as you enter the central promenade, is dog friendly. There is a huge amount of space there available for you to take your dogs for a walk and let them get some exercise. If you are unsure about where you can take your dog, there is signage in place along the beach.

Mablethorpe Beach Chalets can be rented by the day, week, or even for the whole season.

If you're planning on a trip to Mablethorpe during the summer months then there are a few other safety tips to consider during your visit to the beach, to ensure you don't miss out on any of your holiday days through illness.

• Keeping hydrated - Drinking regular non alcoholic drinks will keep you in good shape for a day in the sun, any drinks that include electrolytes are very good for water absorption. Try to drink at least 3 litres of water on very hot days.
  
  
• Wear sunscreen - Mablethorpe can be quite deceiving when there is a breeze coming off of the sea, and the burn time can be very fast. Wear a high sunscreen factor and build yourself up slowly to the sun if you are wanting to get a tan, have regular breaks in shaded areas to give yourself a rest from the sun. Buying a hat can be a great help to keep the sun away from your head. If you do get over exposed to the sun then drink plenty of water and apply a cooling after sun cream where needed, creams including aloe vera and very good for sunburn. If you or one of your party continue to feel ill, then seek medical advice immediately. 
  

• Buy some quality sunglasses - Looking after our eyes is extremely important to our health, by all means make sure you are looking good in your shades, but if the sunglasses you are buying don't protect you 100% from UVA and UVB rays then put them back on the shelf and find a pair that does. Quality sunglasses don't have to be expensive and there are plenty of shops on the High Street and the central promenade that sell them. All glasses will have a sticker or label on them telling you what they protect you from.

• Always obey the beach rules - As we previously mentioned, always obey the rules of the beach, this can literally be the difference between life and death. The sea must be treated with the upmost respect, and keeping to the rules will keep your family and loved ones safe at all times.

• Remember to pick up your litter - Nobody likes a litter lout, and if you get caught throwing your rubbish or cigarette butts on to the floor, or Mablethorpe Beach by the enforcement officer, then you will be facing a fine of around £80. Keep our magnificent beach clean and leave it how you would like to find it the next time you visit.

There are several locations around Mablethorpe that you can leave your car and have quick access to the beach, see all of the available places on our car parking page.

Everything is ready and waiting for you to come and make the most of Mablethorpe's beautiful beach, rent yourself a deckchair, grab yourself an ice cream, sit back, relax, and take in the air with amazing views of the Lincolnshire coastline.
