The Wild Coast
Of all Lincolnshire's wild places, it is the coast that is the most nearly natural. Here, the processes of accretion and erosion, and tides and storms make the coast a dynamic place that is forever changing.
 
The whole of the Wash is one of England's finest wildlife areas, especially noted for wading birds and wildfowl which inhabit the sand and mudflats. Between Grimsby and Gibraltar Point there are extensive sand dunes, clothed in dune grassland and scrub of mainly sea buckthorn. There are also saltmarshes, freshwater slacks, and seashore of shingle and sandy beaches.
