Advantages: different things to do

Disadvantages: the tides come in fast

Cleethorpes is an ideal place for a day out. I'm not sure if there is enough in cleethorpes to keep you occupied for a week but theres enough for a day.

We have found it a great place to go for a day trip in the winter as most things are open plus there is an indoor market in the winter at the end of cleethorpes. It is also ideal to get to from most of south yorkshire as it is not long off the motorway.

There are basically two ends to cleethorpes. We have found the ideal place to park is on the sea front and pay by meter.

The first end of cleethorpes is where the train station is and where the shops are. This is literatulary next to the beach. Next to the railway station is a great fish and chippy/cafe (this isnt open in the winter). Also up this end is the row of amusments and gift shops. On this end of the beach is a helter skelter and swing boats. At this end there is also an arnold palmer and also the pier which has a bar on the end of it.

A ten minute walk down the promande and past the lesuire centre is the oher end of cleethorpes. This end is where pleaseure island the theme park is. At this end is a kind of mini lesuire centre. Here there is a great mini railway, boating lake and zoo. There is also a discovery centre which is a little attraction and this has a cafe in it.

Just a word of warning if you go on the beach the tides are notorious here for comming in and going out very fast.

Summary: good for a day out
