Chapel St. Leonards is a family-friendly seaside resort on the Lincolnshire Coast. The sandy beach stretches for several kilometres in each direction and is a great place to swim, sunbathe and hunt for shells. A breezy beachfront promenade hugs the shoreline and is a great place to stroll and cycle.
Follow the promenade to the North Sea Observatory, a world-class facility with engaging exhibits on the unique natural history of the Lincolnshire Coast. Enjoy spectacular views from Chapel Point, a former World War II stronghold repurposed as a scenic lookout.
Pick up a serving of fish and chips and enjoy a picnic on The Green. The grassy area is a stone’s throw from the beach and lined with cafes, shops and amusement arcades. Don’t forget the mushy peas and pickled onions. Chapel St. Leonards is also home to some great pubs where you can enjoy classic British fare like pork pies, bangers and mash and hearty Sunday roasts.
