Cleethorpes Beach
Has been awarded a "red flag" for uncleanliness. it can be crowded between the pier and leisure centre during the summer months, and especially on bank holiday weekends but as you move further towards the humber mouth yacht club it becomes more peaceful. the sand-dunes alongside the boating lake and parts of the beach have been designated a nature reserve as this area is an important stop-off point for migratory birds. the tides on the beach come in fast, and go out a long way. the "sea" is very distant when the tide is all the way out, and the pier doesn't reach the water. lots of mudflats. be careful you don't get cut off by the incoming tides, there are lots of signs around to remind you of this. i can be kind of fun to watch the tide come in quickly. the pier has suffered financial difficulties but may open in the near future.
The Cleethorpes Coast Light Railway
Is a narrow gauge steam railway running for about a mile between the leisure centre and the far end of the boating lake and is very popular with both railway enthusiasts and young children. telephone:01472 604657 (http://www.cleethorpescoa...)
