About

Sutton-on-Sea is a coastal village on the Lincolnshire coast, characterised by its long, straight promenade and wide, sandy beach. The area is defined by its flat, open landscape and direct access to the North Sea. The settlement pattern is linear, following the coastline, with residential streets set back from the sea wall. The beach is central to the area's identity, used for walking and traditional seaside recreation.

A defining structure is the concrete sea wall, which runs the length of the front and incorporates colourful beach huts. Immediately inland, the land is low-lying, with properties often protected by grassy banks. The village is situated within a broader agricultural landscape of fields. The area's layout and architecture reflect its history as a planned seaside resort from the Edwardian era.
