Skegness is Lincolnshire's premier seaside resort, made famous by the 'Jolly Fisherman' poster proclaiming it 'so bracing'. The town has one of the UK's best sandy beaches and is home to the original Butlin's holiday camp. Its highly seasonal economy creates unusual property dynamics, with strong summer yields but winter challenges typical of east coast resorts.
“Traditional seaside resort with Butlin's. Strong caravan and holiday park sector. Bracing!”
