(left) The sands of Skegness at low water, stretching away left and right from the boathouse (almost central on the shoreline) which houses the station's carriage launched Mersey and inflatable D class. Directly behind it is the amusement park which was once the very first Butlins! The close-up (below) shows the simple lines of the modern boathouse and the gap in the flood defences through which the lifeboat reaches the beach. The beach varies greatly and the cox'n walks it daily to find the best launching site.
