Advantages: Relatively fun

Disadvantages: tacky after a while, not worth staying for more than one day

Skegness is a coastal resort in the East of England.

==== Ease of access ====
It is approximately 2 hours to get to Skegness from where I live but that is a pretty good time, there are several main "A" roads that will allow you to get there so unless you travel in absolute peak times then you should be able to get there without any major problems.

If you don't know exactly where you are going then as long as you head in the right direction then you should find t he rest of the way signposted.

4 / 5 for access.

==== Parking ====

There is lots and lots of parking available in Skegness, you can choose whether you want to park right in the centre or whether you want to park in a residential street and walk to the beach / town centre. I have found that parking in residential streets is better as at least you do not have to pay whereas the NCP parking lot near the centre does, whilst the charge is not extortionate, it is money that you could have saved and put to better use such as ice cream!

Overall 4 / 5 for parking

==== Attractions ====

The beach is Skegness' main attraction and for the most part it is a pleasant white sand beach with some shingle closer to the sea but not so much that you could hurt your feet whilst walking barefoot. The beach will be quite popular so you may not always have as much space as you would like. The beach is usually fairly windy as well so it may not always be as hot as your might expect.

Another attraction in Skegness is the Butlins family resort offering lots for all of the family to do, you don't have to be a customer in terms of staying there to take advantage of the facilities it has on its site.

There are also lots of other things to keep the family busy, with everything from mini-golf to an arcade. Ok so it may cost you some money to do these but if you are heading to there then you need to be prepared to spend some money.

Attractions gets 4/5

=== Overall ===

Overall Skegness is a pretty nice place to goto if it is just for a day, the beach is pleasant and other activities are enough to keep the rest of you amused. However it is slightly tacky and probably would drive you insane if you stayed there for more than a day.

overall 4/5

Summary: 4 stars
