- Skegness -
Population: 17,000
Skegness prides itself on its sandy beaches, traditional seaside fun and the slogan that made it famous - It's So Bracing.
The Jolly Fisherman, the resort's much-loved mascot, has been inviting visitors to come and sample the air for 90 years and celebrated his special birthday in 1998.
The sand is still the same as when Jolly first rolled out his invitation in 1908, but Skegness has come a long way since then.
It boasts organised beach games during the summer, bars and cafes, amusements, gardens, illuminations and a thriving night life led by the Embassy Centre.
Candyfloss, ice-cream and deckchairs stretch as far as the eye can see.
Just along the coast is Ingoldmells , home to Britain's first themed indoor resort, Fantasy Island.
The Romans once extracted salt from the flats near the village but more recently it became the home of the first ever Butlins Holiday Camp.
A little further north are Chapel St Leonards and Mablethorpe, towns that pride themselves on making family holiday fun their speciality.
