Things to Know

Getting There:

Directions: Travelling south from Cleethorpes on the A1031 a lane on the left leads out towards the coast. The turning is just beyond the outskirts of North Cotes, before you reach Marshchapel and immediately after a sharp right-hand bend in the road. The road to the car-park has a tourist sign (white lettering on brown background) "Horseshoe Point" Follow the lane eastward as far as it goes - at least 1 1/2 miles of well-surfaced single track road, passing the former airfield on the left. The car park at "Horseshoe Point" can accommodate about 10 cars and is located at the end of the lane - go slow as you cross the bridge at the entrance to the car-park, oncoming cars are invisible until you hit them!

Access is very straightforward now. From the car park walk northwards along the sea wall - a grassy bank at the left hand side / rear of the car-park but almost invisible from the car-park itself. Concrete blocks mark the start of the bank. The bank runs parallel to a large fen drain which passes along the end of the airfield.

There are numerous paths down to the beach from the bank - the section of the beach used by naturists is about 2/3 mile (1km) from the car park. You come to a metal gate on the right hand (sea) side. This appears to be standing on it's own although it is in fact connected to a wire fence which has been flattened at several point to allow access, along a well worn path to the beach.

If you walk north for a further 10 - 15 minutes, you reach the peninsula where it is possible to locate areas on softer sand that are facing in a number of different directions, providing some shelter if windy. Address: Horse Shoe Point, Marshchapel, Grimsby, Lincolnshire, UK
