    Me, my wife, my daughter and mother in law go here about 3 times a year.
    It's a 1 hour drive from where we live and we absolutely love it.
    One of the best beaches I've been to.
    Love swimming in the sea and then having some fish and chips 😍

    Hi Neil, thanks for another great coastal video. As you didn't mention it in your comments, I'm assuming that you failed to notice the guy on the beach creating a full size horse sand sculpture? Have a look at 5 minutes in 😁😁

    I am in my late sixties and grew up in Mablethorpe but havent been back there since about 1993. In the summer I went to sleep with the sound of the bingo and fairground and the smell of fried food and candyfloss drifting through the open window. Out of season it was the sound of the wind and the sea. The beach is glorious and kept clean. Everything looks familiar but thankfully spruced up a bit. Thanks for the tour. Brought back memories but do I miss the place. Unfortunately not.

    I enjoyed your video and yes I would pop over for the day when I’m staying in my caravan in ingoldmels. I watched a few of these videos (not all yours) and I find them useful, but just wondering if it would be a good idea to show people where the car parks are. Keep up the good work.😊

    I worked in Mablethorpe as a teenager on the dodgems and the big wheel its changed a lot since then and there where facilities here and there that may explain the porcelain flower pots and the gnomes from various B&B's. looks like it could all represent the passed owners of rides and hospitality folk! A kind of tribute/memorial

    We love it there. The beach is a corker and when the sun shines there aren’t many family resorts that are better. When my kids were younger we went on day trips regularly, happy memories. The best chippy by the way is down the side street next to the rock shop on the high street ;-). Love the films you make. Is Sherringham on the cards?

Or the mannequin type cowboy you could draw guns with inside the amusement arcade? Happy childhood days at Mablethorpe. 😊

    Spent many weeks of my childhood here. Purely as my grandparents retired here. I have to say Mablethorpe had got very, very, tired and tatty looking by the late 80's when we sadly lost my grandad so once sold up we simply never came back. The town had by then succumbed to the deluge of the the much cheaper package holidays to Benidorm and the like causing visitors to dwindle sometimes almost to nothing. But its nice to see it survived. Its still very ahem "budget" - Hey! C'mon we used to affectionally call it Mabledump! And your appraisal of it being "traditional" is spot on. But whereas I enjoyed this short trip down memory lane I am sadly not inspired to venture back, even after all these years. Unlike your vids to Looe and Polperro (another childhood hols destination) as they both still look just as gorgeous today and I am very tempted to visit again. Sorry Mabledump.... you, even in the sun, look a tad shabby.
    But there is one thing no one can take away from Mablethorpe, as shown in all its glory in this very vid, and that is its beach is simply magnificent!

    I went to Mablethorpe many many years ago, I think I was about 16 at the time, we stayed in a caravan park, I wonder if it is still there. Don't remember much of the beach as it rained most of the time. I would probably give it 7 out of 10. Would be interesting to see you do a video of Westward Ho! that has certainly changed in my estimation.
