The spacious, wide, golden sands offer a great spot to relax and play. It's well worth having a nostalgic walk to the end of the pier. It originally opened in 1881 at 562m long and even with storm and fire damage over the years, it still stands at an impressive 118m in length. If you're heading in to town perhaps take a wander through Compass Gardens and Town Gardens, you'll also pass the historic clock tower, built in 1897 to celebrate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. And of course, you'll find all the traditional attractions of the British seaside including the funfair, fish and chips, crazy golf and amusements. Skegness Aquarium opened in 2015 offering an exciting and interactive new attraction for all ages.

En route we'll have a 45 minute comfort stop at Dobbies Garden Centre in Boston to stock up on your garden essentials. We're due to arrive in Skegness by 12:00 and depart at 17:15. Entry fees may apply and pre-booking may be required at the suggested attractions. Please check with the venues before departure.
