Humberston is a compact village and civil parish on the Lincolnshire coast in North East Lincolnshire, England, sitting just inland from the shoreline and close to seaside Cleethorpes and the larger town of Grimsby. Its setting near the Humber estuary gives a mix of low dunes, coastal marsh and suburban streets, and the coastal strip known as Humberston Fitties is noted for its old beach huts, dunes and a conservation character that contrasts with neighbouring resort development.
Historically the area grew from agricultural and fishing links to the nearby ports and today is largely a residential community with local shops, schools and a village social life; many people commute into Grimsby or work in tourism on the coast. There’s a quiet, slightly villagey feel, with interest from birdwatchers and walkers drawn to the coastal habitats and a steady appeal for families and retirees who enjoy easy access to seaside amenities and countryside on the doorstep.
