About

Scarbrough & Seacroft ward is a coastal area in East Lindsey, directly bordering the North Sea. Its landscape is primarily defined by agricultural land and the seaside settlement of Chapel St Leonards. The ward contains a section of the Lincolnshire Coastal Country Park, with its network of paths through dunes and scrub. The natural environment here is shaped by ongoing coastal management efforts to address erosion.

A notable local landmark is the concrete sea wall and promenade that runs along the beachfront, a functional piece of infrastructure that also serves as a public walkway. The economy has traditional ties to farming and seasonal tourism, with caravan parks situated behind the defensive dunes. The area's character is quiet for much of the year, with a seasonal increase in visitors during the summer months.
