a resort for all seasons Traditionally the seaside was a place you visited in the summer; you packed up your bucket and spade - suitcases as well for a longer stay - and headed for the coast. But now there’s so much more to do all year round, whether you come for the day, for the weekend or longer. Getting here is easy by road and rail, there’s plenty of quality accommodation and loads to do. You could come with the family to enjoy the Jungle Zoo, the rides at Pleasure Island and the Light Railway. Plan a trip to take in a special festival or event – there’s lots of them – or revel in the splendour of Cleethorpes in Bloom, the multi-award winning floral displays that brighten up the town. Make a weekend of it with a few mates – chilling by day and enjoying the pubs and clubs at night, or get some Christmas shopping done at the huge choice of stores in Cleethorpes and Grimsby, you can even enjoy a spa treatment on an indulgent weekend away. Whatever you’re in the mood for, it’s time to start planning.

Possibly some live entertainment, maybe a film before hitting a club, or just a couple of drinks before strolling along the prom. Well you would be hard pressed to take in all Cleethorpes has to offer in just one night.

great golf breaks If you’re a golf fan, there are plenty of ways to enjoy your favourite pastime in North East Lincolnshire. If you want to build your entire trip around the sport, then basing yourself in Cleethorpes
gives you easy access to the town’s own club, one of the oldest in the region, with a first class course and excellent clubhouse. You’re also within easy reach of the picturesque Tetney course for another day’s play that’s sure to be a true challenge. With plenty of accommodation to choose from, and a wide variety of nightlife, you won’t be short of places to stay and social activity away from the course. You could also make a round just one of the activities during a stay that takes in plenty of the region’s other attractions as well, so having the clubs handy just in case might not be a bad idea.

DID YOU KNOW? Cleethorpes Golf Club is more than 100 years old and the course still retains some of the features designed by the great Harry Vardon – a six-time Open champion. Much of nearby Immingham Golf Club is built on the site of the medieval village of Immingham which surrounded the adjacent St Andrew’s Church. The National Golf Centre is based at Woodhall Spa, less than an hour away from Cleethorpes by car and is home to the Hotchkin Course, voted the best inland course in the UK by Golf World magazine.

fish. Well you would expect nothing less from a town synonymous with the fishing industry. Grimsby’s traditional fish smokers have protected geographic status, giving their products the same cachet as champagne and parma ham. There’s also a regular farmers’ market where the best regional produce can be found for sale.
