About

The Sutton on Sea ward is a coastal area within East Lindsey, comprising the village of Sutton-on-Sea and the neighbouring hamlet of Sandilands. Its geography is defined by a long, sandy beach backed by a promenade and a low-lying landscape. The central feature is the Village Green, a large open space with traditional shelters and floral displays. The area is residential, with a mix of local services and holiday accommodation catering to visitors.

A notable structure is the concrete sea wall, built following severe flooding in 1953, which shapes the coastline's character. The ward includes the Sandilands Golf Club and areas of dunes and grassland. The economy is closely tied to seasonal tourism, with a focus on traditional seaside leisure. The surrounding agricultural land and the direct access to the beach define its quiet, unspoiled atmosphere.
