Huttoft Beach
Lincolnshire
Huttoft Beach is a broad, open stretch of sand on the Lincolnshire coast, backed by dunes rather than a promenade, which gives it a more natural character than the resort beaches further south. The sand extends for miles in both directions with a gentle slope to the sea, and the dune system provides shelter and a wilder backdrop. The foreshore car park allows you to drive close to the beach at certain tide states, making access exceptionally easy. Even on busy days there is plenty of room, particularly if you walk a short distance from the main access points.
Dogs are welcome year-round with no restrictions on this dog friendly beach, making Huttoft one of the most dependable options on the Lincolnshire coast. The wide, flat sand provides outstanding space for off-lead running on firm ground, and the dune system offers contrasting terrain with marram grass, rabbit scent and sheltered hollows. The tide line carries a changing collection of shells, seaweed and driftwood for investigation. The gentle slope and flat character suit dogs of all ages and fitness levels, and the natural setting means a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere than the developed beaches. Check foreshore car park tide times before visiting, as access depends on conditions. Parking is available at the main car park. A spacious, reliable beach with genuine natural character.
