Anderby Creek is a small coastal hamlet in the district of East Lindsey, on the flat, sandy shoreline of Lincolnshire on the east coast of England. The settlement sits where a small stream reaches the North Sea, and the area is notable for a long, largely unspoilt sandy beach backed by dunes, reedbeds and saltmarsh, making it a quiet spot for birdwatching and coastal walks; the nearby rolling chalk of the Lincolnshire Wolds provides a contrasting landscape a short drive inland.
Historically a tiny fishing and farming community, Anderby Creek today depends largely on seasonal tourism, with caravan parks, holiday cottages and a few local shops and cafés; visitors come for family beach days, wildlife and a low‑key, rural seaside atmosphere. There are also traces of 20th‑century coastal defences along this stretch, and the place retains a strong sense of local identity despite its tourist trade, popular with walkers and naturalists seeking a quieter alternative to busier resorts.
