main beach at sutton on sea where the colanade is located is a blue flag beach, lovely clean bright sands. even the areas further north and south where dog walkers go are lovely and clean - some days even in the summer you get the beach all to yourself

The Cloud Bar is the world’s first dedicated cloud observation platform. It's perched on a sand dune with panoramic views of the North Sea and the Lincolnshire Wold hills. It was installed in 2009 by the Cloud Appreciation Society and is free and publicly accessible. Don't be fooled into thinking there's an actual bar here! It's essentially a designed wooden structure which replaced disused beach shelter. On the viewing platform are ‘Cloud Menus’ identifying the different formations, mirrors that can be swiveled to reflect different parts of the sky.

Fantastic cycleway along the attractive promenade in Sutton on Sea. Picture endless vistas of deserted sandy beach and a collection of multi-coloured beach huts as you make your way down the shore.

lovely ride on a summers day, sand piles can make for slippy braking and turning and can get some pedestrians obstructing at busy points.

18th century Claythorpe Watermill is set in 2.5 acres of tranquil and beautiful surroundings, with wildlife and riverside views. Note the cafe is open to all, you only need to buy a ticket if you're visiting the birds and animals or play area.

Mablethorpe Cycle 2000 is a flat and wide path right beside the sea. It's shared use so can be busy with holiday-makers in summer. But you can have it all to yourself in winter! A strong East wind will blow deep sand over the promenade, so caution is needed.
