Skegness has been voted as the worst seaside resort in the UK for the last 4 years in a row by the consumer group Which? - I've been visiting Skegness since I was a kid and love the place, and having been to plenty of other seaside towns across the UK over the years, there's no way I can accept that this is the worst one. So in the this video we tour the Skegness seafront, beaches and attractions to prove that Skegness is NOT the worst seaside town in the UK!

I never understand how Skegness consistently gets voted the worst seaside destination, I've always loved this place and after a visit earlier this year, I still do. There are definitely worst seaside resorts in the UK, I would interested to see the scoring criteria.
It’s on the Which? website. There’s about 8 different categories they score on.
Likely people voted never been some people have air snobbery if north of watford has to be a dump mentality. Sadly these are people tend to vote can effect issues with swaying people to stay away. Actually think these polls do more harm than good over egging average places down playing good places. Some down or upgrade places if they had good experience or bad which nothing to do with location as example.
Was it down to experience who knows, i went to clacton when i was young many years back that was a dump whether its better now. I always feel people have downer on lincolnshire as a whole no idea why lot worse places to live or visit and people are friendly.
Don't know who these people voting Skeg as the worst seaside town are, but they are very wrong.
Yes and I’m Pretty sure it came top in seaside resorts this year 😂😂 🤦♀️
Love Skeggy and have done for the past 30 years.
Forgot to say, it started in the early 80's staying at Derbyshire Miners holiday camp, the LingaLonga cafe, Nottingham lace at the market.
I agree, Skegness is an ok place,
Only problem I have is, my sister drives from Leeds & refuses to go over the Number bridge, she's petrified driving over water, it's terrible trying to find an alternate route.
For the past 40 yrs I've been to Skegness, it's a common holiday for the normal average family, I love it,holds great memories from my childhood, my own kids enjoy going now❤❤❤
Skegness will always be one of my favourites because of my childhood memories of the seaside and Butlins
When i was a child my family used to Holiday at Butlins at Skegness quite regularly. Seeing this video makes me want to go back and visit the town itself
Thanq for the video
I'm glad you walked on main road, my sister and I are holidaying there next July. Some places are great for us walking impaired some are not.
Very harsh on Skegness this. I live in Cleethorpes, and sad to say, Cleethorpes is a far worse resort than Skegness. Also, what about Mablethorpe !!!! Mablethorpe is literally the last resort ...........
It's been some time I visited Cleethorpes, shocked how many places on the front where closed, used to like the indoor market
Great to see the video. Was in Skegness during mid summer season and I found that the funfair tend to ended by about 8 - 8.30 at the best of time so if anyone is going to get an evening band get it early.!
Great video! The aquarium bought out the model village next door and put a dinosaur area in it for the kids, including a large sandpit to dig around in.
The Embassy is a great venue, they've got a lot of different acts/shows on throughout the year. The night you were there (If it was last Saturday) Chubby Brown was on playing to a full house, fantastic!
I love taking my kids here to the aquarium and we go to the pirate themed chippy across the road too. Massive portions, we only order 2 main meals between the 4 of us
i did wonder what happened to the old model village. i was up there 2 weeks ago on vacation and i wanted to steal the bell.
Just to have all my Holliday's as a kid at Skeg went for first time in decades earlier this year just for the day lovely weather had a stroll on beach walk down the front fish and chips saw a few places that zoomed me back to my childhood ...enjoyed it
Very well executed video and you are a natural with the dreaded selfie stick. The picture and sound quality very good.
Thanks
Well, Skegness has a railway station, nice Zoo, a Wetherspoons , 2 KFCs, nice open top bus service, the minature railway closed down 1989 but there is another one down the road a bit, its hard to find a decent pub there though, its 60 miles from me I think..
just got back from a week at butlins,the town itself is a proper holiday hotspot,and in most places looks fantastic just as it did when it was my nearest seaside town growing up
I came to Skegness all the time as a kid from kings Lynn Norfolk I now live here and I still get childhood nostalgia even though it has been my home for the last 7 months!
I also used to go there when I was a kid, I had no idea Skeggy had such a bad reputation. I only ever have good memories of it. In the Summer they have a slingshot ride that I've been on a few times. I did however leave my Tamagotchi in an arcade there when I was about 7, so if anyone here ever found it. I hope you are still looking after it lol.
Glad you mentioned all the fish & chips. We used to call it chip alley & we used to make it our first port of call as soon as we got off the bus.
Fish & chips in a bag. Yummy,😂😂
Great content.
I grew up in Peterborough too we always went Heacham and skeggy
Had a weekend there and loved it.
went to hunstanton last year with a theatre. stunning views.
Spent a lot of my life up and down that part of the coast. As a child it was more towards the Mablethorpe area. But from my teens into my 30s, definitely spent a lot of time in Skeggie. Absolutely love it! Going back next month, and definitely looking forward to it.
Very cool!
Good mornig Kevin, where's Anna? Being a newbie to your splendid channel (1st. time earlier today and my third film of the day) don't thin, I've ever been to 'Skeggie', but back in late 1960s we had a fortnight in a caravan park in nearby Mabelthorpe, whilst enjoying the beach I found a 'live' round of WW11 ammo, as a ten year old I knew nothing of such stuff, hid it, and took it back to the caravan park and proudly showed it off to the site, who, along with my mum and nan, all had a 'pink fit' and I ended up placing it in a bucket of sand he had for the occasional bllet that turned up on the beach which was used for practice by the soldiers back in WW11. 55 years later, I wish I'd gone to Skegness, but was too young to travel on my own (aged 10) Your films are bringing back some very happy, memories of my now distant past. What more could you expect from a seaside resort? Thank you both & VBW X
Anna stayed in the caravan while I filmed this one, but she was in some of the other videos from this trip. Glad you’re enjoying the videos!
You're quite correct to say your not having it. I'll never forget coming to Skeggie back in the very early Seventies by train, coming to the station was the express from Nottingham pulled by two class 20 diesel locomotives that have now become legendary as "the Jolly Fisherman Express" I then caught a service bus or single decker to Butlins! My Dad, mum and I caught the DMU from Skeggie to Mablethorpe by train before the line was closed, so happy memories!
I am going to a seaside town to chill and to savour the moment, as I was born in a coastal town, for me there is always a magnetic draw even more so as I live in a town!
I have to ask what are you going to Skeggie for or any seaside town for that matter?
Here is the biggest thing our seaside towns have going for them your within 100 miles of one plus you don't have jump on a plane to go, you go for a quick weekend away! They're ideal for the six weeks school holiday and allow you to destress from work!
As regards the brown sea this is due to sand from the many off-shore sandbars.
I am wondering if people are jealous of Skegness as sits as the only big resort between the Yorkshire Coast
and Great Yarmouth on the Norfolk Coast!
However the number of static caravans surrounding really speak for the town.
With Butlins at Ingoldmells issuing day passes you can always use their indoor swimming facilities if its raining too! www.butlins.com/discover-butlins/things-to-do/pools/skegness-pool
Hi kevin i remember my very first holiday to Skegness as i went with a childrens home in 1971 as i was in a boarding school at the time and my mother didn't allow me home in the summer hols so the home took me with them, and we all stayed on what looked like a holiday centre for children which resembled military style sleeping blocks which we could see Butlins from, we had to walk down this roadway to the main rd cross over the main rd and walk along pavement which took you to a large complex which comprised of an outside pool surrounded with 4 half glass walls which you could see the sea out of, there was also many seaside gift outlets and cafes etc a fair ground and a cinema which doubled up as a Theatre etc, and we watched panto with LULU i it singing you make me want to shout can't remember the name of the seaside complex or the holiday centre
Mablethorpe was quite possibly the worst seaside place I've ever been. Skeggy was OK the town centre was depressing but every town is like this now
It's on our list!
I used to go by train to Skegness, later by car instead, get there about 11am stay there all day until it got dark, never been there after dark, funfair is my favourite in Britain, can t find a decent pub there anymore though, but if I am driving its just as well, been there over 100 times mostly on sundays, to make it more interesting I might park my car at Sleaford or Boston and get the train,
I ALSO GREW UP IN PETERBOROUGH AND WENT TO SKEG AND HUNNY ALOT
Skegness certainly isn’t the worst in uk. Jaywick is the worst seaside town I’ve visited in the uk, it’s really grim.
I’ve never been there, but I’m sure I’ll check it out at some point
Hey would you be able to do a vlog in Hunstanton one month?? Would be cool to see my childhood beach in a vlog
seaside places to go, if you ever want to take Andy up to liverpool for the churches and cathedrals id also look in to new brighton little fair and arcade and apparently the best beach in the north west. going right up to the end of to Wallasey beach (minuets in the car) is one of my favourite places, no tourest just locals. theres also turbines in the sea too. many a moment spent there while at uni as its a quick trip on train (underground in the city) might be worth a look at
Sounds good, although if it’s not full of arcades, noise and people then I’m not sure it’s my kind of seaside place!
Yes its a little run down in places but I love Skeggy. Many happy childhood memories from the 80's when we used to stay in a guest house every year. We used to rent one of the now derelict chalets near the pier for the week as a base during the day.
Think sticking a Maccies near the front doesn't look great.
Plenty of free street parking to be had in the streets just back from the front.
Most British sea side towns are a little bit run down...but that's part of the charm! Skeggy always reminds me of Weston Super Mare....very similar!! I love Bournemouth myself....but it's all got a bit "trendy" there now. Nothing like a bit of childhood nostalgia!!
That massive climbing frame what looks fun I never ever seen anyone on it ever 😂
love Skegness, classic British seaside town, an absolutely loved Panda's Palace that was along the sea front as a kid
Skegness is a lovely place.
Wow I grew up in Peterborough and ended up moving to skeg the day after I left school! Been here ever since and 25 years later still love the place!
Ps defo a new subscriber and look forward to future uploads. All the best with the channel
I have a lot of nostalgia for Skegness. I grew up in Boston and used to go to Skegness regularly. When I was a kid I loved it, spent loads of time going up on the train with friends and spending tons of cash playing arcade games and going in the Pleasure Beach.
The key problem with Skegness that also plagues Blackpool as well is the abject poverty in the area leading to a lot of crime. I think the reason Blackpool gets a pass is the Pleasure Beach which has some serious rides. I agree it's better than Hunstanton or Cromer overall, but to compare 90s Skegness with my last visit in 2022 it is a very very depressing place to be - especially out of season. Blackpool hasn't changed a huge amount though. The constant issues in the 2000s of businesses "mysteriously burning down" was a real issue too, so a lot of Skeg Vegas I remember doesn't exist any more.
I did play a DJ set at Grand Central in like 2008, that was a lot of fun!
Absolutely. I used to live in Sutterton ( nearish Boston) and used to get the train at least a couple of times int he season. Blackpool has a vibe that Skegness sadly doesnt have. There's always some noise or music to keep things going, whereas Skegness has shops closing at 4.30pm sadly. Once you been into on arcade thats about it and the pier having half the lights out on the walk out to the end doesnt help.
Bear in mind I was there mid summer season and sadly (and I mean that sadly) that seaside town vibe wasnt there f0r me. If you loved it much respect to anyone.
@@AVanLifeThing It's nice to see that people are enjoying it though. If there was some decent investment I think Skegness could go far, but with it being all fish and chips, slot machines and water filled with effluent it kind of takes a lot of the magic away that isn't lost if you go to other seaside towns.
It doesn't have the attractions of Blackpool, the historical significance of places like Whitby or Brighton (which has a wicked nightlife all year round), the beauty of Filey, or access to overseas destinations like Southampton or Dover. For a "destination" town it really isn't much of a destination.
@@mrrayner7162 Absolutely! I dont want to do member berries but... I remember when you would have an arcade you would goto because it had a marque thing inside it. Once you've been into one it's a copy and paste sadly but I do get the penny pushers and making cash is the main thing.
What really shocked me was in the middle of peak season it was dead. I'll happily stop there if im in the area but like you said I'd not make it a "must go there" but thats in part because its 6 hours from me lol
@AVanLifeThing I get what you mean on the copy-paste thing. I presume a lot of the arcade games have been replaced by slot machines, and that seems to be the M.O. of a lot of these arcade owners. Cheaper costs for higher profits. With games, it's a case of put a quid in, play it for one, maybe two, sessions and move on. Not great turnover for a system that probably costs ten of thousands to have. For the same money into a slot machine, you get people sitting for hours playing it, hoping for a jackpot. I won't go into the socio-economics of preying on gambling addicts, but needless to say, preying on the vulnerable earns more than passing trade of kids and nerds like me.
Again, with the lack of attractions, Skegness has lost its lustre. There's a bit of beauty in the surrounding area, but 4 mini golf courses, an aquarium and an out of date amusement Park with no standout attractions doesn't draw crowds.
also former boston resident here! woot! i still remember when the building near the park 'mysteriously burnt down'. insurance/listed building loopholes, amirite?
Going on Monday love the place these people are out of their minds.it’s an amazing place.
former lincolnshirians unite! i used to live around boston way, and went up skeg every summer or so. I was up here about 2 weeks ago on a family visit holiday as i still have friends and relatives in the shire. skegness is honestly great even out of season, in fact id say its probably one of the better seaside towns to visit out of season becuase of how cheap accomodation is OOS and theres enough open and to do over a weekend or even midweek.
in terms of points of interest too, theres the allsorts shop, that does replica weapons and cool stuff if you're into fantasy movies and anime, theres sweetooth which is actually better than some of the places in birmingham and maybe even london for american imports (first place ive ever seen that actually has gfuel and oh henry bars), if you take a left at the spoons theres a collectables store and a model shop and then salts (imo the best chippy in all of skeg, and ive been to a few).
now OUTSIDE of skeg if you wanted to go a bit further afield your options are admittedly perhaps a bit more limited. and one huge huge downside for lincolnshire in general for me at least is there are like almost no local game stores, aka LGS's for organised trading card game play. from skeg youd have to go about 39 miles to the nearest, which i forget where exactly it was becuase i never went to check it out becuase of the distance. so if you're a card gamer, id have to instead reccomend somewhere like cornwall, which at least has 1 or 2 places in truro for that.
in my humble opinion, i actually think ingoldmelds is lower tier than skeg. yes it has fantasy island but thats ALL it has going for it, good for interesting market stuff and rides, but no 'town centre' to speak of, and no landmarks or anything more chill and laid back like a nice park from what i saw of it. it dosent even have a supermarket for your essentials and skegness has an entire 3! madness lol.
hecki would actually call pendine one of the worst seaside towns in the uk. not becuase its rundown or nasty or anything, but there is simply not that much there. and the signals awful becuase theres a massive hill. the only reason to go down ther (and the reason i was there) was the pendine sands hot rod drags.
note: i do consider it a seaside town becuase it has a honking great holiday park in it, and theres a beach. admittedly a nice beach, but thats all it really has going for it.
I'm from Leicester myself, and spent a lot of my childhood holidays in Skegvegas, I would go for almost 2 weeks each year. I continued going into adulthood, and then started taking my 3 children, who now also love the place too.
That guy in the background at 23:12 is amazing btw
23:13 when even a passerby gives your video the thumbs up!
Skegness has been a part of my whole life, family days out as a kid, partying as a young man and now family days out as a dad. I'm biased obviously as it's close by and I will admit the shopping side of town is a little lacklustre but the seafront itself is probably the best its been in years, the pedestrianisation of the road from the clock tower to the RNLI station has been a massive improvement.
Skegness will always get my vote.
Can I also say a big congratulations on the Guiness World Record.
I agree Skegness does not deserve the worst seaside place in the UK.I did the 16miles costal walk into Mablethorpe was a brilliant day,did it in 7 hours but that was stopping for dinner and of cause the views,somewhere between 25000 to 30000 steps according to my smartwatch and a max pulse rate of 120,was a great dat weather perfect for walking and sightseeing on the way.
I stayed at the premier inn for my birthday week until it was my birthday on 4th august I absolutely love Skegness been going for years😊
Ah, the arcades. It's a cracking place as I remember from very young and right up to twenty years ago. The videos of Skeggy on here don't change that opinion. AFAIK the place is cheap and you can have a proper seaside holiday. You might be surprised how boring North Devon is, over-priced and full of second homes now.
And tower gardens has a lovely big duck pond
Lucky strike...my fave arcade too...i won £1000 in there last new years eve 😊😊 love skeggy 🎉
My kids love the fairy dell paddling pool
Skegness definitely looks amazing. Definitely have to come and explore.❤ definitely prefer sandy beach to pebbled beach and Brighton is amazing to
I totally agree!
Been done dirty here 😂 12:15😂
I went to Bridlington last year from recommendations. Wtf was I thinking 🤣🤮
They only use 3000 people who probably haven't even been to Skegness but me and my late wife loved it because it was the best
My husband nige & I came 27th may till 4th june absolutely loved it we stay at the beachlands Hotel, Scarborough Road going to book up again on Tuesday for next year ❤❤
Sounds great!
It's changed a lot from my last visit with my parents. Those new building where not there. And the entrance to the main carpark has altered use to drive by the RNLI .
Is the seal rescue place still there ?
As far as I know, yes
Natureland is definitely still there
very good value. Bournemouth is worse they did nothing about roads or parking, dreadful council.
Skegness reminds of myrtle beach here in US
Plenty of quiet beaches even in summer time, skegness, Ingoldmells and chapel are far better than Blackpool and Yarmouth put together.
Agree with you all the Way..
No way love it, first went 1970s 1980s mum and dad had a van ingoldmells there, with millions on investment it has a good future love the fair arcades and lots more the pier,the beach is not bad.
I really like Skegness so much to do and keep you entertained. The seaside food is also my fave
Have you been to Margate recently?
This looks a lovely resort, fun, family friendly and a jolly good time.
How have you never been to Skegness before Mark lol !?
@@Coaster_CrazyGod knows, there’s loads of U.K. places we’ve not visited yet.
@@DisneyMarkUK if I were you guys I’d be buying a motorhome and travel around the UK and Europe in it !!! That’s my dream for when I retire and it always has been
@@DisneyMarkUK saying that tho I’ve never been to Newcastle lol 😂 one of a few cities I’ve never visited
@@Coaster_CrazyIt’s the Centre of the action.
Is the donut man still there next to macdonald's best av ever had anywhere
Need to do Blackpool
Love Skeg, been visiting all my life. I now live on the south coast, and southern coast resorts (with perhaps, the exception of Brighton) are dull by comparison and don’t even have sandy beaches! I think those that are voting are snobs who have never visited Skeg (or haven’t been in 20 years).
Loads of beautiful sandy beaches on the south coast. Bournemouth is just one for example. Some lovely towns down south much nicer.
Skegness great..I'm going in October Butlins big weekend
the skatepark is sick though
enjoyed this but its got to be wells next to see for me.
It's on my list
I was actually at hunstantun over the weekend heshum Beach parkdean caravan park 😅 not a bad area
Bloody hell go to Withernsea 😂 it's dire!
I don't think its the worst seaside town. I've been on holiday there for years, and recently the town has undergone a major refresh.
The South area has the Atlantis Golf, The Aquarium & Dinosaur Area, The Upside Down House, the pedestrianised area...
The 'Middle' has the refurbished pier, the Premier Inn, The KFC and a bar at the end of the pier...
And the North has Natureland, Arnold Palmer and... OK, that area is pretty much run down and forgotten apart from those 2 main attractions.
The South Side is amazing, as are the changes/planned changes for the pier. But the North Side needs stuff now, as it does feel forgotten and 'dead' even though its a short stretch of seaside.
I can also see the seaside transforming into a place for clubs, partying and nightlife, which is a bit concerning considering it is a family holiday resort...
Are you off to the goose fair this year
Just got back from there about 5 minutes ago, video coming later this week.
Really enjoyed this Kev and based on your video, seems an unworthy title, much worse down our way! Will be bringing the family up for an explore soon
Have fun
im not a beach person or fair person but I wouldn't mind the arcade and slush or food stuff haha , it doesn't look horrible tbh I find people will always critise everything
Looks ok, looks better than WSM at least on camera, nicer less muddy beach...
I don’t think it’s the worst… at all. Maybe the people it can attract like any seaside… loads of rough commoners everywhere… but it’s part of the fun, who doesn’t want to watch a family having a full blown argument in the arcade with kids kicking and screaming 😂 free entertainment ! But no, not the worst and if you strip it back like you have. There is lots to see, do and enjoy.
That is part of the fun for me. I am from a council estate in Leicester and I feel posh in skeggy 😂😂😂😂😂
I literally just people watch. When you see them get off the coaches, I cry laughing. All of them heaving themselves one by one with a fag ready in mouth as they exiting the coach step. I love it so much 😂😂😂😂
@@kimhandley4416 haha ! I much prefer down to earth common people rather than stuck up snobs. But I do agree, I went skeg last year for a day as i fancied a road trip. And wow- I felt out of place… 😂 so I can relate to that ! But, it’s nice to see people just be themselves and not a care in the world what people think of them. Fair play.
My local beach town would be Blackpool. I don't think Skegness is any more tacky than Blackpool?
I’m from Bristol, Weston Super Mare makes Skegness look world claxs
I’ve never been there, but it’s on my to do list
Really enjoyed the video, excellent, if you're looking for the best &/or worst in the UK, you should come to Northern Ireland and sample Portrush/Portstewart.....Skegness looks awesome compared to those 2
I’ll and it to my list!
Hello guys, open Tuskegee a couple of times but we’re going in September to the wall needs to be Brooklyns no it’s not a new caravan park brand-new for this year. I wondered if you had a walk around that we could tell us because we haven’t been for a couple of years, and I’m a bit confused, I know there’s Butlins it’s usually think you should be bored. Please put the sound up on the 3rd-one now, but I think you get some favourite song on that as well. So plenty for viroids for kids up you. Did you notice of any vegan or vegetarian shops Because I’m vegan and my daughter put it up sure she’s coming or not because she doesn’t like travelling very much Jess even though she went to Canada and Mexico in a matter of 12 months I like to have a mobile shop because I’m disabled and I got the scooter and a lot of the market to the sale on the market because I used to be my one of my favourite places But don’t worry Liz video you really are because some people think of Skegness or the house Keggy boring boring boring I haven’t been on all around Skegness we stopped at them. Where can we stop now will you marry before for more thinking might before and I was like 30 miles down the road to Avon Cord record now, do you know the weather in anyway it’s a very big Avon site but the trouble is you have to drive 30 miles to get to skeg skeg E or you can go back on yourself. I’m going to New Haven at the time we wasn’t driving so we went on the coach the train sorry then the train at Doctors by the bus station in my before Four is it skeg E no now go to run. The bus driver says you have to get on the bus and drive down to the park recruited with a load of food shopping because do you know expensive food is in the small campsites so I took went to the little still there, and I got some food. I would love to go on the boat now old for over an end up in the water because you’re a disability which is really nice and shoulders hallway round to the schedule never now and we’re gonna be there on the 25th which is my daughter‘s birthday and it’s for memorial for because I lost that to years ago and it’s broken her off because she loved skeg E and I said I come back for her and I’m coming back on it. I’m coming down on her birthday so it won’t be so hard because we can work on Bridgnorth she’s coming she said we lost I have a medium that comes in and I could never know that Sophie comes out with this is amazing but they’re just gonna be me husband me and my daughter I need the new caravan park off go with Courtney and I reckon it’s a really nice park. I think it was on by whiskey the fairies I think it’s over on the left-hand side but I’m not sure so perhaps you could check it out for me but great video. Let me know if you do anymore I’ve subscribed and liked and would love to see more of these old fashion fair grounds. I’ve been through a lot but it’s always notify new okay then thank you
Skegness is one of my favorite places to go ❤
Always loved skegness . Always enjoyed it . Fantastic place 😁😁😁😁
Me too!
I agree it definitely isn't a contender as the best, but the worst? It isn't even the worst seaside town in Lincolnshire! (that would be Cleethorpes!)
the only complain I could have is that the beach is kind of ugly, but the city itself is fine. I don't get why it's last place.
Skegness is awesome I live in Norfolk I always go north to skeggy
Im nearly 50, now such a cool place.
Skegness is awesome, I love it and the kids love it! Definitely not the worst by far I think
I lived in Skegness for 8 months, I don't think it is a bad place to visit. I think the aquarium closed down, but I'm not sure, and the Premier Inn is a recent addition. The upside-down house is a new tourist attraction.
We visited the aquarium last year and they seemed to have put alot of work into it then
@kylekaye9147 Oh nice, I haven't been back I a few years, so things would have changed.
how this place has such a bad review is crazy... try southsea pompey or hayling island ? Skegness is so much cleaner, amazing...we have not even gone there yet but it IS on the list
Didn’t realise you grew up in Peterborough! I moved to boro when I was young teen, and I think sunny hunny and skegvegas are actually alright 😂😂
Parking is only £1 cheaper at the north car park. Is it worth it for the extra walk?
It's really not a particularly long walk. I certainly prefer it.
Family favourite
surprised you didnt get hassle for filming. the resident chavs dont like it
I’ve vlogged in Skegness dozens of times over the years and never had a problem.
I am 39 years old. I went to Skegness as a child. I just returned back today from a weekend break with my friend and her children and it absolutely warmed my heart. It was incredible to watch the children go through the same joy as I did. Yes it is tacky, yes us British are fat and ugly, but that should not mean ti vote it as the worse place lol. If you had kids then the whole experience of a caravan and the club house and the rides, fish & chips, árcades, and on & on & on & on. It's the best place for children. ❤.
Speak for yourself. Not all Brits are fat & ugly 😮
@@chocoholic832 obviously! It is a funny generalisation. I love us British & our generally bad teeth 😋
Have you been to Great Yarmouth it's fantastic
Years ago. But planning on going back again soon.
I think its a great place been a few times in 80s 90s in my childhood days, now i
Bring my kids to Skegness. I think people putting it down are wrong, yes some areas need a little paint and some seating areas need a clean. But compare it to other places it has very little bottle necks plenty green space , in the park you almost forget you at the seaside. Please don't mix up butlins and fantasy islands up the road, for me thats is too much.
Been going Skeggy and Ingoldmells for years me and family love it that much we've based our tourer down there for last 5 years and go most weekends between March and October can't fault it at all these folk that vote skegness the worst obviously don't get out much
I love a good arcade so this doesn’t look that bad tbh
Love Skegness brilliant fun day out
