If you’re someone who isn’t a fan of shorter days, colder weather and spider webs, the transition from summer to autumn can be tough.
We’ve now reached the midpoint of September, which means that the main hallmarks of autumn are making themselves known.
It can be easy to become a bit of a recluse during autumn, particularly if we’re dealt long periods of unsettled weather.
But leaving the house for fresh air is vital, both for our physical and mental health.
The luscious Nottinghamshire countryside is ideal for an autumn stroll, but a trip to the coast is an even better way to blow the cobwebs away.
The beautiful Lincolnshire coastline is just a short drive away from Nottinghamshire, making it perfect for a daytrip over the next few weeks.
Despite being awash with holidaymakers during summer, visitor numbers at many parts of the Lincolnshire coast plummet during autumn.
But this only adds to their appeal, with more room for autumn day-trippers to enjoy.
Discover 6 little-known Lincolnshire beaches that are often forgotten during autumn:
5. Seathorne
Nestled between Skegness and Ingoldmells, Seathorne beach definitely doesn't get the attention it deserves. A popular caravanning destination, Seathorne is often much quieter than its northern and southern neighbours, particularly during the winter months. An amusement arcade and café are located right next to the beach. | Mat Fascione Photo: Mat Fascione
6. Huttoft Beach
Tucked away between Sutton on Sea and Anderby Creek, Huttoft Beach is one of the Lincolnshire coast’s hidden gems. Also known as Moggs Eye Beach, the beautiful stretch of coastline is known for its golden sands and grassy dunes.The width of the beach at Huttoft makes it ideal for enjoying some games or simply escaping the crowds. Visitors to Huttoft can even enjoy a drink and a bite to eat thanks to the nearby cafe, Vista at the Boatshed. | Ian Russell Photo: Ian Russell
