We had a caravan at Southbeach when I was growing up in the early 80s, and I spent a lot of time at the Boating Lake. It's nice to see that it hasn't been faffed around with and modernised. There are bars and eating places in the general area now which have made a positive impact but I could see that the Boating Lake 'office' was still in exactly the same place. Super mighty very lovely. 💖

I visited the place in July and the place looks very relaxing. I saw a lot of swans which made the place more enjoyable. A pound is situated in the middle of the park and boat riding is available as well. The park is very children friendly. I like the place and everyone should visit to feel relaxed.

Cleethorpes Boating Lake is such a calm and beautiful place to visit. There are always many birds around, which makes it especially lovely for nature watching. A wonderful spot to slow down, enjoy the scenery, and just breathe.

It is a lovely place to admire the birds and go for a peaceful wander around. There were plenty of different types of birds to see and it has a nice atmosphere! The views are lovely all away around the lake. Plenty of seats which is nice to stop and relax for a bit.
