By Bus
Walsh’s of Skegness is easily accessible by local and regional bus services. Skegness is well served by regular routes connecting the town with surrounding areas including Ingoldmells, Chapel St Leonards and Boston.
The main bus stops in Skegness are located close to the town centre and seafront, just a short taxi ride or pleasant walk from the park. Services operate frequently during peak holiday seasons, making bus travel a convenient and cost-effective option for guests arriving without a car.
We recommend checking current timetables before travelling, particularly during off-peak months.
On Foot
One of the joys of staying at Walsh’s is how easy it is to explore Skegness on foot. The park is within comfortable walking distance of the award-winning beach, traditional seaside attractions, cafés, restaurants and local shops.
A stroll along the promenade offers classic coastal views, while the town centre provides everything you need for a relaxed day out. Walking is not only convenient but also a great way to enjoy the fresh sea air and classic Lincolnshire seaside atmosphere.
Using a Bike
Cycling is a fantastic way to explore the local area at your own pace. Skegness and the surrounding coastline offer relatively flat terrain, making it suitable for riders of all ages and abilities.
The seafront promenade provides scenic cycling routes, and there are quieter back roads leading towards nearby villages and countryside. For safety, we recommend using designated cycle paths where available, wearing high-visibility clothing, and ensuring bikes are securely locked when unattended.
Bringing your bike allows you to enjoy greater flexibility while avoiding town-centre traffic during busy holiday periods.
By Car
Travelling by car to Walsh’s of Skegness is straightforward and convenient. Skegness is accessible via the A52 and A158, connecting the town to major routes across Lincolnshire and beyond.
From Lincoln, follow the A158 directly to Skegness. From Boston, take the A52 towards the coast. Clear road signage will guide you into Skegness, and the park is easy to locate once in the area.
On arrival, on-site parking is available for guests, allowing you to settle in quickly and start enjoying your stay.
Local Beach & Coastal Wildlife

Just a short stroll (approximately 0.3 miles) from Walsh’s of Skegness, the award-winning beach offers wide sandy shores backed by dunes that are home to shorebirds, sand martins and seasonal migratory species. At low tide, rock pools and exposed sands reveal small marine life, while early mornings and quieter evenings provide the best opportunities to spot wading birds along the waterline.

Nature Walks & Countryside Wildlife

The surrounding Lincolnshire coastline and countryside provide excellent walking routes with flat, accessible paths suitable for all abilities. The Gibraltar Point coastal path (approximately 2 miles south of the park) offers peaceful dune and marshland walks where visitors may see skylarks, marsh harriers and a variety of native wildflowers throughout the seasons.

Local Nature Reserves

The renowned Gibraltar Point National Nature Reserve is located around 2 miles from Walsh’s of Skegness and is one of the most important wildlife sites on the east coast, featuring saltmarsh, lagoons and sand dunes rich in birdlife.
Slightly further afield, Donna Nook National Nature Reserve (approximately 20 miles north) is famous for its grey seal colony during the winter months, offering a unique opportunity to observe seals and their pups in their natural habitat.
