The iconic Mablethorpe Sand Train has been refurbished as of 2022 and is ready to take you on a journey down the picturesque east coast

Transporting passengers along the idyllic setting of Mablethorpe Beach for over 60 years was bound to take its toll on even the most well-built trains within the country. And after the ownership of the Sand Train passed over in 2021, there were some changes in store for one of Mablethorpe's most precious and long-standing attractions. Initially, this saw the new owners opt for a tractor to pull the carriages. While this did improve the operation's overall reliability, it did make it lose some of its glamour and appeal.

Comments were taken on board by the owners, and as of 2022, the Mablethorpe Sand Train is back in all its glory, and I have to say it looks fantastic. So, whether you choose to ride the Sand Train for a pleasurable trip along the coast, taking in the scenery and the sea air, or use it as a mode of transport between the holiday parks down Quebec Road, you'll find the pricing of the Sand Train is very reasonable, and it's an exciting and memorable way to enjoy your holiday in the town.
