Despite Kamoot having this as a footpath, it is a sign posted cycle route below the Prince Edward Walk (which you cannot cycle along). It's a firm stone surface but quite overgrown. It didn't feel particularly safe with signs of drug use/ drinking along it. It is probably better to stick to cycling along the grand parade.

Skegness Pier is currently 118m long, but once stretched 562m into the sea. Even so it remains a significant landmark on the coast, and there are plans to restore its full length. As it is now, it's a nice measured 100m sprint along the boardwalks to the pier's end.
