Saltfleet Haven.

 Saltfleet is a coastal village in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire.  It's approximately 8 miles north of Mablethorpe and 11 miles to the east of Louth.

The Haven comes in from the North Sea and in the past there was a thriving shell fishing industry here.  The Saltfleet Haven Boat Club has some mooring along the bankside.

Popcorn & I visited here on a lovely morning in May 2024, the tide was out so the water quite low.

Mooring jetties all along this bank.  At high tide they enable access to the craft.




Lobster pots, there's still a trade for shellfish from here.

Looking inland gives a nice view of a Lincolnshire "big sky"!


A swirly cloud formation, looking out toward the coast.

This boat is probably for sea angling or Lobster fishing.

Safety first.
