This national nature reserve stretches from south of Skegness to the mouth of The Wash, Britain's largest estuary. The coastline here is unique and unspoilt.
There are sand dunes, saltmarsh, marshes and meadows and a wide variety of wildlife. Boards around the reserve will provide more information about the habitats and wildlife.
There are grazing animals on-site so dogs must be kept on their leads at all times.
The car parks are pay and display. There is a Visitor Centre with a café and toilets.
