This walk from Mablethorpe heads to the nature reserve of Saltfleetby Dunes, an area of dunes and marshes that is in a constant state of flux. It's famous for being one of the few places in the UK where you can see natterjack toads, and makes for a good stroll in this lovely part of the country. You can find out more about the wildlife from the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust's website:

One small frustration with this walk is that it's not that convenient for linear walks, which is always a shame with a coastal walk. Getting back to Mablethorpe from Saltfleet requires changing in Louth or Grimsby – not very practical (and taking over 2 hours). A much better option is to just walk back to Mablethorpe, but bear this in mind when determining how long to spend exploring the dunes.
