About Skegness

Skegness, a seaside resort, draws its character from the broad Lincolnshire coast. It lies 7.8 km east-north-east of Wainfleet All Saints (from Wainfleet All Saints: bearing 58°T, OS grid TF 563 633), and is situated south of Ingoldmells village. Historically, Skegness grew from a small fishing hamlet, its fortunes tied to the sea and the changing tides that shaped its sandy shores. The economy, once reliant on fishing and agriculture, now thrives on the steady stream of holidaymakers, a testament to the enduring allure of the bracing sea air and the wide, open skies that stretch inland. The very salt on the breeze hints at a past of hardy fishermen and a present of cheerful commerce, a constant ebb and flow of fortune. The iconic Skegness Pier, a grand Victorian structure, stands as a proud sentinel against the grey North Sea, a landmark that has witnessed generations of laughter and seaside revelry. The town’s cultural heart beats with a distinctly buoyant spirit, perhaps most famously embodied by the jovial figure of the "Jolly Fisherman," a character who has welcomed visitors for decades with his cheerful grin. While Skegness may not boast ancient universities or grand cathedrals, its vibrant amusement arcades and the lively atmosphere of its central promenade offer a different kind of enduring appeal, a place where simple pleasures are celebrated with an earnest, unpretentious joy.
