Another Skegness question - beach huts or luggage lockers

earthmother

I've put this as a new post as it is a slightly different question than my earlier Skeg ones.

Does anyone know if there is currently a left luggage/locker facility at either Skegness train or bus station, and/or if there are any rentable beach huts?

I've googled, but can only find comments/blogs from a few years back that state at that time, there wasn't any left luggage option, and that whilst there are no seafront huts, there were some down the side of the pier.

We can't book into our caravan until mid afternoon the first day, and have to leave by 10 am on the last day, and I really don't want to loose two half days of our 3 night stay because we're towing our suitcase etc around with us. Also, a base near the beach might be of use anyway, if only to dump things like wet swimwear etc.

Have you been in contact with the tourist information in Skegness?

Not sure if there are facilities for left luggage at Skegness. With regards to Beach huts they are available to hire through East Lindsay District Council, anything from half a day to a week. Have a look on their website. A days rental is £17.50
Hope this helps

shipr!!!95 - thanks for the link - that one has not come up for me on google for some reason

kitty1941 - I did find their website the other day, but despite it coming up on a search for Skegness, East Lindsay only hire out huts at Mablethorpe and Sutton.

Oops sorry, didn't read it right. Have had another look and found a contact telephone number for the beach huts - not sure if still correct 07761168880. Maybe worth a try. If not joy I am in Skeggy so will see if I can find out for you

The huts/ chalets are at the outdoor pool. The contact number is 01754 610675. I can't picture any lockers at the bus/ train station.

Just wanted to say thank you to you all ... I contacted tourist information, and they also gave me the number Kitty1941 found, along with an email address for them. They are called Pierside if anyone else comes to this thread for information, they were very helpful and fast in their replies, and I now have the chalet booked for the dates I wanted. (it's at the same £17.50 per day rate as the council chalets in Mablethorpe etc, or they offered me a 4 day weekend for £50).
