Cleethorpes beach is a long stretch of picturesque coastline. You can sit in the sun, or paddle in the waters off the coast, visit the arcades or do something more active and go stand up paddle-boarding or kite surfing.

The beach is sandy and stretches for miles; there is a lifeguard service in season. Cleethorpes is a popular location for canoeing and kayaking, jet-skiing, kite surfing, paddle-boarding, sailing, swimming and bathing, and windsurfing. Activities on offer include arcades on the promenade, beach donkeys, crazy golf, deckchairs for hire, and ice cream and fish and chips with a view on the traditional pier. Other restaurants are also available.

There is a council-operated beach safety service throughout the year, providing first aid, a lost children’s service, and general beach safety. This location is looked after by the RNLI, but there is no dedicated lifeguard.

The beach has good parking, beach huts, deck chair hire, pedalos, a slipway, toilets, and disabled access. It may also be possible to borrow beach friendly wheelchairs, availability allowing.

In summer 2021 Cleethorpes was named as the second best beach in the UK  by the Trainline (Margate pipped it to the post). The railway station is extremely close to the seafront – literally just across the road.
