Skegness is a traditional seaside resort on the Lincolnshire coast in East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England, noted for its long sandy beach and Victorian-era development after the arrival of the railways. The town still features a pier, arcades and the much‑loved "Jolly Fisherman" image, and family holiday attractions such as Butlin's underline its role as a mass‑tourism destination facing The Wash.
Economically it relies heavily on seasonal tourism, hospitality and leisure jobs, and has seen regeneration efforts to address quieter months and social challenges; alongside that, the salt marshes and mudflats of The Wash make the area important for birdlife, attracting wildlife visitors as well as traditional holidaymakers and creating a mixed community of locals, retirees and visitors.
