Coastal sits on the eastern edge of the borough of Boston in Lincolnshire, hugging the low-lying shoreline of The Wash. The character is defined by reclaimed salt marshes, extensive sea defences and a network of drainage channels, with broad tidal flats that attract large numbers of wading birds and make it notable for wildlife and coastal scenery.
Locally the economy leans on agriculture, some small-scale fishing and seasonal tourism for birdwatchers and walkers, while historic sea‑walls and drainage schemes underline a long history of land reclamation and flood management. Communities tend to be dispersed and rural, with a mix of farming families and commuters into Boston, and ongoing local focus on coastal erosion and flood resilience.
