One small step for me
I went a couple of times as a kid but don't remember much - and I'm happy with that! - except that when the tide was out the sea was about a mile away. I don't recall having much fun there and Ive never wanted to go back. Even as a kid I thought it was naff.

Here I am at Skeggy, approx. 1970 I would guess.

Ha! I forgot about that! Iconic Skeggy picture, that right there.
There's a particular section of my extended family that have all packed up out of Nottingham and moved to Skeggy and its environs. Fucking trash.

Go to Gibralter Point. It can be accessed from southern Skegness.

Skeggy is everything you might want from an authentic English seaside town, as long as your ideal is a crap funfair, lobster-red men in Union Flag plastic Tommy helmets, pubs packed full of bastards, and the unmistakable aroma of batter, sick and heart-attack doughnuts.
