Small traditional coastal village with excellent family-friendly sandy beach
Sutton-On-Sea has resisted over-development so it remains an old fashioned seaside town with a wide and clean beach for all to enjoy.
There are attractive gardens and a children’s paddling pool alongside a vast and well-preserved natural beach. Sutton-On-Sea is a much quieter coastal destination in comparison to neighbouring areas like Mablethorpe. An ideal location for taking in the wide open space, picnicking, building sandcastles as well as dog walking and swimming.
Water Safety Information
A day at the beach should be fun, but the sea can be unpredictable. Follow these simple tips to help keep yourself and your family safe:
Check the conditions and swim at a lifeguarded beach
Sutton on Sea Beach is patrolled by RNLI lifeguards between the middle of July and beginning of September, between the hours of 10am and 6pm every day. They are on hand to answer any questions or provide assistance with first aid, missing people as well as keeping an eye on swimmers.
Know how to call for help
Carry a mobile phone if you can, ideally in a waterproof pouch if you're entering the water. In a coastal emergency, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
Remember: Float to Live
If you get into trouble in the water, fight your instinct to swim hard. Instead, float on your back, tilt your head back, relax, control your breathing and use your hands to stay afloat. Once calm, call for help or swim to safety.
Understand the hazards
Before visiting the beach, check the tide times, weather conditions and be aware of risks such as rip currents, changing tides, strong waves and cold water shock. Sutton on Sea is a wide beach with a large tidal range that causes strong currents along the coastline. At high tide, there can be a sudden, hidden drop off where the water gets deep quickly due to the gradient of the beach. Small children and weak swimmers should be cautious when entering the water at high tide and always swim between the red and yellow flags.
Look out for the beach flags
- Red and yellow flags – Safe area for swimming and bodyboarding, supervised by lifeguards.
- Red flag – Danger. Do not enter the water.
- Orange windsock - Do not use inflatables as the wind is blowing out to sea

fun with the kids
Children don’t need to be told how to enjoy a beach, they just do! But we can heartily recommend the events programme throughout the year, particularly those put on by Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust and RSPB where you can learn a skill while having fun.
