Sutton on Sea is a coastal ward in the district of East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England, sitting on a stretch of sandy beach and dunes that characterise this part of the Lincolnshire coast. The local economy is dominated by seaside tourism: caravan parks, holiday lets, cafes and fish and chip shops bring a large seasonal influx of visitors and support a hospitality-led local trade, with neighbouring resorts such as Mablethorpe and Chapel St Leonards forming a familiar holiday corridor.
Originally developing as a small Victorian resort, the ward today mixes long‑term residents and retirees with short‑stay holidaymakers; its coastal marshes and dune systems make it popular with birdwatchers and walkers, while coastal erosion and sea‑defence work remain recurring local issues that shape planning and community life.
