We visited Mablethorpe for the first time in March this year and by August we had been back 5 times and ended up buying a caravan here. I love everything about it, the friendly people, the traditional seaside feel and the most amazing beach. I'm so glad I discovered this beautiful area & spend as much time as I can here now.
Karolyn from Worcestershire (Thursday, November 17, 2011)

Well what can I say about Mablethorpe,
I have been visiting Mablethorpe since the early 70s when going on a 2 weeks holiday with my parents. Since being married and having one child and 2 grandchildren I have still visited Mablethorpe when I could. My last visit was with my family and grand children this August bank holiday and I was telling them that the only thing that has changed since I first visited in the 70s, are the facilities have improved. Mablethorpe is mainly untouched and still a loverly place to holiday
My 7 year old grand daughter went on the sand train and then the donkeys. She then said "grandad" are these the same donkeys you went on when you came on holidays whith your mom and dad. How sweet I had to say yes of course they are.

I've moved back to Lincolnshire from the Sussex coast after 30 years and I must admit I was previously wrong about my view of Mablethorpe. Yes there are still the "tackie" gift shops and endless tin boxes (sorry caravans) etc but the beach is superb and it's great for kids, far better than the rival Skegness.
Whilst the east coast can never equal the south coast in climate, it's still better value for money and brilliant for the old type family holiday.
Well done Mablethorpe.

i love mablethorpe we have been going on holiday three years now and keep falling more and more in love with it. it's been caught in time , lovely beach, friendly people a relaxed town that is unspoilt by development unlike blackpool , we love it so much that one day we hope to live there untill that dream becomes a reality {lets face it not many jobs there} a holiday will have to satisfy my longing. wish the old penny arcade was still there though real shame they decided to take it away.

...we have just returned from a weeks camping trip in Mablethorpe, we normally camp here a couple of times a year but have now purchased a static caravan on the Haven site, we love it that much...we have older children and a little man aged 4 and Mablethorpe has something for everyone, young and old....can't wait for the weekend to get the caravan keys and then we can visit even more regular!!! Happy Days!!
CHARLOTTE from NOTTINGHAM (Tuesday, July 19, 2011)

We have been to Mablethorpe for the last four years and have just returned from a great week at Golden Sands.The people of Mablethorpe are friendly and the town has many interesting shops.We have discovered the Busy Bee cafe and I feel compelled to say how pleasant the staff are.The food is excellent and the prices very reasonable.We have already booked again for next year and look forward to visiting the cafe again.I have only one complaint and that is to do with the amount of people that allow their dogs to foul the beautiful beach and do not clean up after them.My nine year old son had to take a great deal of care while digging and building sandcastles as there seemed to be dog mess all over the place.This is the first time that I have seen so much mess on the beach and I was very disappointed.I dont know if local people are responsible or if it is down to the visiting dog owners but whoever is responsible should be made more aware of how much damage they are doing to a wonderful beach.Pease be more considerate! Other than that I am very happy to be returning for what will be our 5th holiday at Mablethorpe next year.See you all then!
P aul from West Midlands (Sunday, July 17, 2011)

Right...where do I start! I went to Mablethorpe on a school trip, as I live near Skegness, I often go there but it was a lovely change to be able to go to a different beach. Compared to Skegness, Mablethorpe was great! The beach was clean, beautiful and lovely. It suited everyone, it had a few rides for kids, beach for family's, restraunts and take-aways! I did notice a lot of litter but you can't really prevent that, but I think more bins would help! The website is efficient, easy to use and useful. It has loads of information, me and my friends were doing a project based on Mablethorpe and no other website had decent information; apart from this one! I seriously recomend visiting Mablethorpe itself! Thank-you! xx

anon (Thursday, July 14, 2011)

I've been to Mablethorpe for about 4 years as I have a friend who lives in the area. The beach is lovely and I certainly enjoying walking on the beach and around the town. I hope to visit the area again very soon.
Gareth from Wales (Friday, July 08, 2011)

Hi, been going to Mablethorpe for years, since we were all little. Have just returned and took my 2 boys age 2 and a half and 10 months, went into the town centre to take the boys on the arcades or slots, found out the big arcade on the left handside on the high street on the corner (the one with no name) has had a revamp and now has a lovely softplay area for the children, however very dissapointed to find that the old 'foot machine' has gone! Does anyone else remember it, a very old machine that claimed to 'ease aches and pains', you stood on it and it vibrated your whole body for 20p and left you feeling a little sick and shook your brain around! Great fun though. Me and my friends, family used to be on it all the time, and any day visitors to see us were always dragged along to have a go. In fact we used to call the arcade 'the foot machine slots' and always plan to meet up in there. I asked one of the men in there and he said it has a fault and is in repait but as its so old they can't find parts! How sad, it's an old mable tradition, someone please fix it!
Join the campaign, Mablethorpe has gone a bit upmarket with it's newly opened 'Cooplands' but lets bring back the old favs! Anyone else out there remember it??
Carla from Rotherham (Friday, July 08, 2011)

I have been visiting Mablethorpe since I was a child and now am bringing my own children. It's a great place for families to go and plenty of activities. The beach is fantastic, clean and stretches as far as the eye can see. Mablethorpe is well worth a visit and holds many fond memories for me and my family.
Adam from Mansfield (Friday, July 01, 2011)

I visited Mablethorpe for the first time 3 weeks ago on a glorious sunny winter's day, my husband had fond memories of holidays there as a child and wanted to take me. I LOVED IT, cant believe the beach it is amazing, we had the best fish and chips I have tasted since Whitby and I cant wait to go back, am hoping to go in the summer when the town is open and full of life. I am definitely a Mablethorpe convert.
Alison from Sheffield (Wednesday, March 16, 2011)

I have been coming to mablethorpe since i was a baby,i am now 50 and still enjoy the place.we used to have a static caravan in the resort but had to let it go in 2007. we now have a touring caravan and site it on the cherry tree site at sutton on sea every year from march to october. we spend most weekends throughout the summer at our caravan. we look forward to fridays and getting away from our busy lifestyle and getting away to the peace and quite of the area. you cant beat a stroll on the beach on a summers night after a busy week at work. we walk from sandilands to mablethorpe and back most weekends and enjoy a coffee stop at the coral cafe on the sea front at (sunshine corner) trusthorpe, in our opinion the coral cafe is the best in the area. we have made many friends in the area and we meet up with them for a drink and a laugh.I could go on and on about mablethorpe and when october comes and we have to bring our caravan home we always feel sad and cant wait till next year.
Andy from Nottingham (Thursday, January 27, 2011)

We first started coming to Mablethorpe in 1972 at least 3-4 weeks a yr,in a batterd old gas caravan on Golden sands,no elec or water,but my god the best holidays we ever had,as we grew up and married then bringing our children there 4 holidays.
After i devorced my daughter an myself moved to Mablethorpe staying there for 7yrs, Thanks to all the people there who made us very welcome.
Linda & Amy from Doncaster (Wednesday, December 08, 2010)

Mablethorpe is o.k but is now looking tired i have owned a caravan there for 12 years and i still love the place but i do think it needs some money spending on the high street as some of the shops look very shabby but saying that i always look forward to the start of the caravan season opening as it is such a relaxing place to visit
Mike from Sheffield (Tuesday, December 07, 2010)

We had the pleasure of going to Mablethorpe beach in October half term- the boys had a fanastic time paddling- yes paddling searching for shells and finding star fishes- the weather was brilliant and you could see for miles we spent a really good time there will certainly return. The beach was clean
Mary from Woking Surrey (Sunday, November 28, 2010)

Tesco: whats the point of knocking a building down where you could just build another one some where else?
Anon (Sunday, November 14, 2010)

As a child I've spent many happy holidays at Mable. Now bringing my own family. We usually stay in our tourer on the c/c site, it would be nice to come and stop in the winter in a bb however we just end up coming for the day as none of the guesthouses accept large dogs (well behaved golden retriever).
Jo from Nottingham (Friday, November 12, 2010)

We recently booked a private rental chalet H19 situated on mablethorpe chalet park ,it was advertised on the preloved website it says (sorry no dogs) although dogs are allowed on the park the people we booked the chalet from do not allow dogs in thier chalet, which was brilliant because my husband suffers with asthma and allergic to dogs and cats , we love mablethorpe and we always take the 2 grandchildren away for a weeks holiday usually staying at the haven holiday park in a caravan, but this year found it very expensive for the week we wanted to stay in. its the first time we have booked a private rental chalet , what a pleasent suprise the chalet was absolutely immaculate, and had everything we needed and more to make our stay enjoyable, the park had a launderette , shop , cafe , and night time entertainment , and the main thing was ,we felt it was safe for the grandchildren to ride their bikes round the park and play outside nearby the chalet , already booked a week for next year in the same chalet .
Sue from Derbyshire (Saturday, September 11)

Hi All, My family and I stayed in Mablethorpe July 2010 and loved it! Occasionally we would eat out at the Fairway which is on the main road. Definitely recommended and good value for money,especially for all you veggies out there.
Doreen from Nottingham (Thursday, August 26, 2010)

My Nan and Grandad had a static caravan on Holivans, between the two Golden sands sites, while my Dad was still a kid. Then my parents bought a static on the same site,so been coming to Mablethorpe since I was a baby ( I am now 40 ).
I think Mablethorpe is by far the best resort on the East coast, having something for everyone, young and old.
I have seen many changes to the resort over the years, most noticable, the dissapearance of the much loved helter skelter from the fun fair on the sea front. But one thing that has not changed is the very freindly and welcoming manner of the locals.
I love how every thing is in one place, and so easily accesable. It is great to see the famous sand train is still running, I have fond memories as a kid of the train.The seal sanctuary is superb and I never grow tired of visiting and is a must see for any that have not visited it.
A fantastic town, with fantastic people and a superb holiday resort, and I for one will be returning again and again.
Garry from Rotherham (Tuesday, August 17, 2010)

Sam from Earls Barton (Saturday, August 07, 2010)

We have just spent a week at Mablethorpe and all loved it dogs included. Would recommend to all. Only down side was that we lost our digital camera there dont care about the camera but would love the person who got it to give the memory card of photos of our wonderful kids enjoying their time in mablethorpe in to the police who have our details.
Kate from Barnsley (Wednesday, August 04, 2010)

rebecca from nottingham (Wednesday, July 21, 2010)

After spending a few days with her brother and wife at the caravan they have at Mablethorpe, my wife gave me a body blow "i have bought a van on the same site,as Alf" in all honesty its not at the top of my places to go.my first recollections of Mablethorpe was in 1943 barrage balloons and barb wire,gun slits for the home guard.now my heart is warming to the place the folk are my kind of people. The shops are very good, Lord Bros as everything you could want and at very fair prices.Yes i can now say its my fav place on the east coast.
ron from nottingham (Monday, June 28, 2010)

hi, i took my three boys to mablethorpe for the week from may 28th, we had a great time, the beach is lovely and clean and the kids had fun at the pool too, i remember the old stepping stones in it when i was younger but its a lot better now. i will be going every year and rent a van on towervans from a wonderfull lady. its a home from home. i went every year when i was growing up for 16 years and loved it, its now a tradition for me and my three every year also, and go to the same caravan site. my boys had a great week and their nanna came along with their brother and had fun too. they loved the arcades and the fair and the clock chippy food is as good as it was years ago if not better.
Lindsey from Scunthorpe (Friday, June 11, 2010)

Another visit to Mablethorpe Princess of Lincolnshire, just had a great week sun sea and sand in abundance, lovely people and a very pretty town who needs more!! Spain eat your heart out!
Helen from Oakham (Sunday, June 06, 2010)

Our family have been going to Mablethorpe now for 7 yrs and to be honest i think its going slowly down hill. There are alot of shops full of rubbish, the Haven site as a rat problem and all they could say was, well what do you expect your in a field. I tell you what i expect, maybe to see the odd one but not a family of 15 running out 4ft away from me and one run straight out in front of my daughters feet. Disgusting, does anyone know who this can be reported to cause Haven was"nt bothered at all.
Andrea from Sheffield (Saturday, June 05, 2010)

Hello there,
Been to Mablethorpe at the weekend with the grand children. What has happened to the paddling pool?? One of the hotest days of the year and no water and no indication as to when it will be filled and in use. Could you put details on your web site please? I know that others came with towels and costumes. Will be trying again later in the year as Mablethorpe is a popular day trip with the family.
Ian from Worksop (Monday, May 24, 2010)

I'm 50 this year and live in Miami now but for years and years as as child we used to go to Mablethorpe. I loved it !
I remember the Arnold Palmer golf opening and used to love the arcades especially Jacksons with the jigsaw game. Yarnolds donughts, my dad eating cockles from the shop on the high street and great fish and chips from Monty's or St. Annes or anywhere really !
The beach was obviously the big attraction and I used to love going with my mum to the office to get the chalet key , listening to it jangle on the brass key fob ,then the fun of finding your chalet and "moving in" with the bucket and spade and the set of paper flags. No day was complete without a ride on the sandtrain or the classic jug of tea for the beach.
The last time i was home I visited again and it brought back great memories.
Thanks Mablethorpe !
Steve from Miami, FL (Thursday, May 13, 2010 )

i used to go to mabo as a child and loved it,my parents had a caravan on golden sands,we went their for our honeymoon,and a couple of times after that as well,but we returned for our ruby wedding anniversary for a nostalga treat,but what a dump,apart from the nice beach,nothing has changed,its nice to keep a seaside resort not to commercalised,but comeon,the shops are tatty still full of the same old junk and ornaments from the 50s,the rest of the stuff they sell is tat,its a wonder it has survived,lots of fat people walking about full of junk food,oh dear!
Kathy from: Stamford (Tuesday, May 11, 2010)

Great Town. Good Festivals.Beautiful Sandy Beach. Friendly People. Good Willing Volunteers.Lovely Countryside.Family from Bolton, Boston, Rhyl and Birkenhead love it! Needs Investment.
Pamela from Mablethorpe (Saturday, May 08, 2010)

I lived in Mablethorpe during my teen years and left in 1971. It is a beautiful place with out of this world surrounding countryside. The people are laid back and friendly. I miss it deeply as my "home home".
I have travelled all over the world and seem some classy beaches but none equate to the ones at `Mabo` I am currently looking for any of the `old jobs` that used to be around - in catering etc - so as I can go back home again. There is plenty of scope for walks, which put you out in the wilds of the countryside while not being to far from town. I miss the mushrooms that used to pop up and provide a good, healthy meal. The sunsets are quite spectacular with deep and colourful dusks. The twilight in the surrounding countryside is second to none and bathes you in a kind of euphoria. It is a most healthy place to live with the clean air and it has that most fantastic `big-sky` as the area is predominantly flat, for this reason, from the sandhills or surrounding countryside, you can see for miles and miles to the horizon. A recent addition is the line of trees as you enter Mablethorpe on the Maltby Straight giving a somewhat exotic grove as you enter the town. Boy, do I miss it!!
Nick from Ramsgate ( Wednesday, April 28, 20)

Great holiday every time , mablethorpe is top on my list it.s like a home to me,
David from :Coventry (26 April 2010)

been going 2 mablethorpe for the past 5yrs now stayed at the same guest house fairhaven well recommend it has a nice relaxed atmosphere well worth staying at this bed and breakfast you will have a great time and will want to go back x
Kym and Del from London (Friday, April 16, 201 )

Hi Mablethorpe is a great place to go. the sand racing is a brilliant and brings in people at winter time. The festival on saturday 20th march was a little disappointing it was in the stalls was in the wrong place it would of been better on the big carpark by the childrens holiday home i know the weather didnt help but i think u would could off had more stalls and more people would off come. the stunts was a good idea as it got people round that end.
Dawn from Leicester (Monday, March 22, 2010)

Great Beach - BUT- a very tatty high street - monopolised . by dubious looking takeaways and machine arcades. Also needs a decent hotel.
Anon (Sunday, March 14, 2010)

Its a great place, it has a top class beach, the people are very frendly. The only drawback is that it could due with modernising the council and local business should be investing in the jewel. Its a great place and it would be sad for this jewel to disappear in the sands of time. A couple of suggestions I could make, new modern shop fronts a swimming pool would be nice, also a extention to the funfair for the kids, more rides more people, = more money simple, so come on Mablethorpe lets see this happen and make Mablethorpe the top spot again.
Edward from Scotland (Friday, February 26, 2010)

When I was a child we used to go to Golden Sands for as many years as I can remember. Now I own a chalet here and all the memories are still there. Fantastic beach, friendly people and everything you could want within walking distance. What more could you want?!
Deb from Leicester (Monday, February 22, 2010)

Cannot believe no big switch on, no mention in Skeg & Mabo mag.. still cannot wait to meet up with friends from all over country. Still miss Big Pete Young in the Louth Hotel, get him to do lights.
Colin from Rotherham (Friday, February 19, 2010)

We always stay at mablethorpe chalet park, i used to stay their as a child ,we used to bring our children on holiday their , and now we take the grandchildren ,mablethorpe is great palce to stay ,the beaches are lovely as so are the people, all the takeaways are yummy can't decide which one we like best so we order from them all, booked for july 2010 roll on summer.
Anon (Thursday, February 18, 2010)

Me and my partner think mablethorpe is great, we've had lots of happy times there, my partner used to come every year when he was a child with the rest of the family, we spent our first holiday together there and have done every year since (apart from the two yrs on the trot we went to disneyland) but nothing compares to mablethorpe, we have a great time, we stay at the haven holiday park, where you can get everything you need in a short distance, we go into mablethorpe every day and always discover something new!! the only suggestion we have is, maybe you could modernise the town abit, move into the 21st century, but dont go to far, see you this year (the websites wonderful, by the way)
Julie from Barton on Humber (Tuesday, February 16, 2010)

MABLETHORPE, What a great place to be, I am getting on now in life but as a child me and my family used to go there every year for a family holiday, we stayed at trusville holiday village, I can see it now, happy days, so happy I brought a caravan there and now it is my second home .
Valerie from Leicester (Sunday, January 24, 2010)

Thanks for your reply, it's a shame we missed the rest of the beach huts, i meant enter ours next year! I will look forward to seeing the pictures on the website. It was a lovely weekend, my son really enjoyed playing the drums in the music workshop on trusthorpe green!
Carla (Wednesday, September 23, 2009)

Hi carla
Thanks for your e-mail it is always helpful to get some feedback and i am pleased you and your family enjoyed the Bathing Beauties Festival.
We had over twenty entries for the beautiful beach hut competition but only three entered from south prom mablethorpe the rest were at trusthorpe, sutton and sandilands.  The winners were announced under the star of the east on mablethorpe prom. It was listed  in the brochure and poster in the festival schedule page and we gave out  plaques to the winners. The leader is going to do a large feature with photographs next week and they are going to be posted on the website.
We had four entries for the longest dance, line dancers, belly dancers, ballet dancers and the the gymnastic dancers the idea was to start at both Sandilands  and meet up at sutton on sea we only managed to cover one and a half miles of the five miles we hoped to cover but it was our first attempt so hopefully we will achieve the full distance next year.
We have the festival in September to try and extend the tourism season and give the town a bit of a boost when usually everything is winding down.
The festival is organised and run by the tourism forum all of whom are volunteers, we work really hard to secure funding to run the event each yearand this is only its third year so we are still learning and know that we can improve it and we will do.
Many thanks again for your comments and I hope I have gone some way to answering your questions
Best wishes Helen - Festival organiser (Wednesday, September 23, 2009)

Hi, was at Mablethorpe all weekend for the bathing beauties festival with my mum and 9 month old son. Had a great weekend but it could have been better. I'd like to know who won the competition for best decorated beach hut? We had a walk on Sat morn to have a look and could only see 2 huts that had entered, up near the coral cafe. Did anyone enter from the huts along sutton on sea? Also what happened to the longest linear dance parade down the promenade? Only 1 dance troup turned up! What a shame more people didn't make an effort and why is the festival so late on in the year, it would attract more people if it was in the middle of the summer holiday, surely?
Anyone else feel the same? 
Carla from Rotherham (Wednesday, September 23, 2009)

We had a fab time last week in Mablethorpe. It was so clean ,the beach was clean and the people are so friendly.The car park only cost 3 quid for the day, and we found loads of great shops.
A couple of places we ate in and can recomend were The Fairway which had a great menu and our daughter loved the carvery,4.99, and also
Montyson Fitzwilliam street just off the main high street where we had the most delicious fish and chips ever.We are already planning to return next year.And thanks to Haven Golden Sands too for a great place to stay.
A great place for a family holiday.
David from Chesterfield (Monday, September 07, 2009)

I have nothing but great memories of Mablethorpe. I came here as a young teenager in the early 1970's with my family, on our summer holiday. We came three times. What a long way it seemed from Birmingham! And our car always seemed to break down at Lincoln! We used to stay at Trusville and had a whale of a time. Such freedom. Playing football in those funny shelters (stil there, I see), fun at the putting green, whelks and winkles at a stall on the prom. The brilliant chippy outside Trusville, and the one-arm bandit places in town. And of course that fantastic beach. I've been back since, just once, a few years ago and other than the old convalescent home having been replaced by flats it had hardly changed. It's great and I must come back again one day.
Chris from Leamington Spa (Thursday, July 30, 2009)

i was born in mablethorpe lived their for 16 yrs left in 1980 things were much more busy when we had the train station i remember it well the old bridge used to be opposite where the co.op is now just think how much more people would come back to mablethorpe if the old single line was back from skegness to mablethorpe i still cant drive and i go evry year with my grandchildren i love it the air is so fresh not fshy smellin like most seasides and it always had the best beach it was a bad mistake takin away the train it took away the holidaymakers.............
Carol from Yorkshire (Monday, July 20, 2009)

Only having been to Mablethorpe once before, many years ago we went for the day Sun 13th July.I can't say enough good things about it,from the reasonably priced car park...£3 all day,to the excellent food and service in the Regency Cafe (go there for breakfast and you won't be disappointed!!)to what I think is the best beach anywhere on the East Coast.We will definitely be going again and recommending it to all our friends!!

Me and my family have spend all our summers at Mablethorpe since i was little and we all love it, lovely clean beaches, nice seafront walks and we love Daves seaside Sutton bus! I have great memmories of Mablethorpe and i am looking forward to bringing my 6 month old son this summer to create some more memmories for him!
I have a great photo of my son on Mablethorpe beach i took when we visited in June, it would look great on your website to advertise your beaches!

We recently took over the snack shack and beach chalet hire on the north prom looking over what has to be one of the nicest beaches in england. the local people are very friendly and the council work very hard keeping mablethorpe and the beaches tidy. we moved up here from london 3 years ago and have never looked back, every time we sit outside work having a break its like having another ten minute holiday. mablethorpe has a lot to offer and is an ideal family holiday location.

I lived in Mablethorpe for a year in about 1940/1941 and remember being able to go on the beach through the barbed wire. There was a soldier guarding the opening and I think we could only go on a Sunday. Another memory was seeing a German Dornier 17 aeroplane just after lunch when he bombed the cinema and he machine gunned the main street, I can remember walking on the broken glass from the shop windows. There had been a lecture for the soldiers arranged that afternoon in the cinema which luckily had been cancelled that morning so the cinema was empty but because of it there was a hue and cry about there being a spy in the town, because if the lecture had not been cancelled at the last minute there would have been many casualties. Another memory was of my father accidently driving his motor-bike through the closed doors of the hotel which was the HQ of the Anti-Aiscraft battery of which he was the CO. They would not allow him to ride the bike after this, he had to have a driver. I did enjoy my time in Mablethorpe except for the school I was sent to, it was a girls school in Sutton-on-Sea, I hated it.

I Just love Mablethorpe, I use to go when I was a kid, it was great then, so its just right that now I have kids that I bring them.
The Beach is first class the local people are nice & helpful, the place is very good value for money, so for people on a budget ist great. My kids love the place & we will be back again.

I prefer Mablethorpe to Skegness it is a friendly place and always busy. skegness is desolate in the winter but Mablethorpe seems to always be alive. The all day carvery at the Beck is such good value we use it every time we stay at the chalet park.

I live in USA now. My mum and dad lived in Mablethorpe for years. It has absolutely beautiful beaches; unspoilt miles of beaches; safe; fun for kiddies; I want to visit with my family sometime soon. I'd can't wait to walk on the beach again and have fish and chips.  Oh I do love to be beside the seaside, Oh I do love to be beside the sea..... anyway, in resonse to the lady who wants a swim pool in Mablethorpe - why on earth would you do that if there's miles of beautiful ocean/beach right at your door?
Chris from USA (Feb 25 2009)

It is an mavelous place and every one should go. It is Really fantastic.

Love Mablethorpe have a whole lifetime of memories. We used to go to Golden Sands before Haven was even thought of. We have had chalet holidays in Trustthorpe. The beach is the best on the East Coast, sand cricket for everyone. Sandcastles by the bucket load. The beach train, the zoo, crazy golf, the dunes and now the new beach chalets to make you smile. Still miss the big wheel, somehow it as never looked right without that. Not too big, not too small, just right. Not over commercialized, but what you need.

Just spent a week's holiday in Mablethorpe, my Aunt moved up here from Dunstable 5 months ago. She loves the place and said it was the best decision she has ever made. I could not agree more - Maplethorpe has a character of its own,unspoilt by commercialism. The people are so friendly and polite.
I am from Harlesden in NW London, and i can tell you its a breath of fresh air to come to a place like this. I am going back for a long weekend at the end of August.

would rather go to skegness, much better!!! inside skatepark and outside plaza which are both amazing!! they have pro's down aswell and i doubt any pro's will go to that one in mablethorpe.

Eunice Belgrove, who recently appeared on Deal or No Deal, touched the heart of everyone who watched her. Although i live in London, I would like to join any campaign out there for a swimming pool to be built in Mablethorpe. For someone of her age to have that much spirit and energy is a happy site to see.
If Mablethorpe council can build a Skate Park for the youngesters, why not build a swimming pool for everyone!!!!!!
Lindsey from London (Wednesday, April 09, 2008)

'Love Mablethorpe, stayed there many many times and weekend days out are very popular. The beach is the best in the world, no where else could you build such wonderful sandcastles. I love the donkeys wish I was small enough to have a ride. Last year came to see the new chalets they were great.
Came as a child, came as a adult with kids, lots of kids due to us being foster carers, and now enjoy coming as an older person and strolling along the flat promenade, which is beautiful. Carry on improving but please don't spoil the gentle relaxing atmophere of this great holiday town.
