Skegness.

Sitting on the Lincolnshire coast where the North Sea meets miles of sandy beach, Skegness has drawn British holidaymakers since Victorian times, its very name once shorthand for the classic seaside break. The town still wears that heritage well, with traditional cafes serving up fish and chips within sight of the shore, while a solid range of hotels caters to visitors staying beyond a day trip. Bracing sea air and old-fashioned charm remain very much part of the appeal.
