Warmer weather is on the way and many of us will be planning our next escape to the coast. In Nottinghamshire if you're not willing to drive for more than a couple of hours you've pretty much got to head to Lincolnshire, or, at a pinch, Merseyside.
As a result, with the hordes of the East Midlands descending on both coastlines, you're usually hard-pushed to find somewhere that isn't too busy. Fortunately, there are a handful of lesser-known beaches a stone's throw from the more popular ones in Skegness and Mablethorpe.
Huttoft Beach, also known as Moggs Eye Beach, has been named one of the best in Lincolnshire. It's especially popular with walkers and surfers, but would be perfect for anyone looking for sun and sea without the crowds. There's a reasonably sized car park, toilets and a picnic area as well as an ice-cream man most of the time.
