Andy, Thanks for the report, is there a preferred location for seawatching at Mablethorpe? I am hoping to earmark a day next week to get to the coast for a seawatch and was thinking about chapel point/mablethorpe or huttoft terrace?? Andrew |

Hi Andy, At the south end of Mablethorpe there is a row of beach huts on the sea wall. In the middle of this row there is a shelter which we use for seawatches. Park in the car park by Trusthorpe store and then walk north along the sea wall to reach this shelter. |
