I visited in April 2016 with my family as part of the Sun newspaper's caravan holiday deals.
Skegness is the main resort, although there are actually several small towns close together, one of which we stayed in.
The main theme for the area seems to be caravans (I've never seen so many in my life), amusement arcades and rides and the traditional chip shop. That said there is much more to Skegness and the area than just these things.
One of the highlights for me was visiting Natureland. This is a seal life rescue place, which is just up from the main sea front. Inside there is a small zoo, with lots of different animals as well as the rescued baby seals, which are very cute.
Another favourite of mine was the Aquarium. This has a lovely main tank, as well as lots of smaller tanks full of different fish. The staff are also very friendly.
Skegness Pier is also a place not to be missed, as it is one of the things the town is famous for. It is a lovely wooden pier into the sea. At one end are amusements and the arcade, which are also good fun.
The town itself is nicely laid out, with a good variety of food places and shops. There is also a lovely park with a boating lake, as well as fairground rides.
Skegness is somewhere I really enjoyed visiting and would be happy to go back
