Saltfleetby St. Peter is a small coastal village in the district of East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England, set close to the North Sea and the low-lying marshes and sand dunes that characterise this stretch of coast. The nearby Saltfleetby-Theddlethorpe Dunes National Nature Reserve and associated salt marshes make the area important for birdlife, wildflowers and insects, and give the village a strong sense of place between sea and farmland.
Historically the name hints at salt-working and the Old Norse "by" for a settlement, and the village retains a quiet, rural character centred on a small historic parish church and agricultural life. Today the local economy mixes farming with nature-based tourism and conservation work, while coastal defences and the delicate dune and marsh habitats remain prominent local concerns.
