Chapel St. Leonards

This is smaller to skegness but not too far out. There are some amusements and shops but not much to do. I found you still have to travel into skegness as children can get bored as there is not much to do. There are some nice bars and restaurants which are resonably priced and there is some entertainment for the kids at night is some pubs.

Chapel is not far from Skegness, along the coast towards Sutton on Sea and Mablethorpe. Five miles inland there is the little town of Burgh le Marsh with its magnificent windmill. At the foot of the Lincolnshire Wolds, is the market town of Spilsby, the birth place of Sir John Franklin.
As you wander around the centre of Chapel St Leonards you will feel that you are amidst a typical country village with its central green, rose beds and friendly community atmosphere. Yet only minutes from this rural scene lays a wonderful safe beach with surrounding beach facilities. Great for kiddies. This is a lovely, fairly unspoilt seaside place but also has much still open in the winter, for a day out, being a real community too.
It has a pullover to the beach. a road going up and down again. At the time when goods were brought in by sea, wagons pulled by horses went out onto the beach to meet the cargo ships that were on the shore. When the cargo was transferred to the wagons they would return fully laden but could not get over the sea defence bank. That was when a second horse was used to pull over the heavily ladened wagon. Hence the name Pullover.
A nice little bookshop, a seaside café, a little amusement arcade, dress shops, beachwear and a post office are amongst the villagy shops.
The Vine Hotel is a pub with food and 18 rooms for staying in. Caravan sites are all around too to stay on plus B & B’s. Other pubs and bars here. The village hall has a famous annual panto around Feb by by the Fairly Arthritic Repertory Thespian Society. For fishermen there is the Water Meadow Carp Fishery with ³⁰⁄₆₀ pegs at £4.50 a day. Ist week in August is the annual carnival.
There are 3 restaurants open all day. one an Italian/​Pizza. We enjoyed a pizza from a takeaway here too.
Slides, swings, bouncy castles, crazy golf, pubs, clubs and entertainment are just a few of the fun activities that you will find for families. It is really a family place or just walk the long long beach walks, swim in the sea, eat and go play the 2p machines in the arcade. Like holidays once were.
