After the shock that Cleethorpes Beach was named the second-best UK beach in the country by Trainline and Skegness Beach not coming in the top 80, it’s nice to share some good news.
Skegness Beach, which I personal believe is one of the best beaches in the country has been named the 6th best beach by car leasing company, Nationwide Vehicle Contracts.
The leasing company disagreed with Trainline and credit Skegness beach for everything it had to offer. The company set a range of criteria to find the best beaches in the UK.
The Criteria the looked at included:
Journey to the nearest town – The distance in miles to the closest town.
Car Parks – The number of car parks for beach visitors.
Beach Rating – Reviews of the beach based on visitors’ opinions.
Day Parking Prices – The cost of parking for the day.
Dog Friendly – The restrictions for taking furry friend to the beach.
Cost of petrol – Petrol prices in the local area.
Although I am really confused what the distance to the nearest town, and the cost of petrol has got to do anything with choosing the best beach in the country, it is nice for Skegness beach to finally be recognised.
With staycations on the rise in the UK, Skegness has become busier than ever, which is great news for local businesses and holiday parks. This news that Skegness beach is one of the best in the country can only be good news for our area.
While Cleethorpes beach may have been named in the top ten by Trainline, the leasing company ranked Cleethorpes as having the 89 best beach in the UK.
