SILVER MEDAL RATING FOR CLEETHORPES BEACH FROM NATIONAL TRAIN TICKETING COMPANY

Soaking up the sun on Cleethorpes sands

CLEETHORPES has come up trumps with a train ticketing company.

Our resort has been placed second by Trainline plc in its 2021 list of the UK's 100 top British beaches.  

It says: "This vast sandy beach has won both Blue Flag and Seaside Awards, and there is a traditional pier where you can enjoy fish and chips with a view.

"It is also the perfect spot for watersports if you fancy having a go at kite surfing or paddleboarding. 

"Walking time from the railway station to the beach? Just across the road - you couldn't be closer!" 

However, gold medal goes to Margate in Kent which it describes as " the kind of British seaside resort all the others are probably a bit jealous of".

It states: "This pristine sandy beach has plenty of space for all (even when the tide is in), its own tidal pool, and an array of cafes, restaurants, pubs, and seafood stands nearby for when you get hungry. 

"And let's not forget Dreamland - the vintage theme park with amusements, rides, and events for all ages.

"Walking time from the station to the beach: Around five minutes."

The following beaches also make the Top Ten:

3. Saltburn

4. Teignmouth 

5. Paignton Sands

6. Troon Beach

7. Blackpool 

8. Dawlish Warren
