There are few things better than taking a trip to the seaside when the weather is warm and sunny, but no matter how much you prepare, one thing that can always make or break the day is parking. It's no fun arriving at your usual car park to find it's already full, or that the prices are much higher than listed online, or just not being able to find your car park no matter how many times you put it into the sat nav.

The car parks closest to the beach in Skegness are usually the most expensive, as are some of the larger car parks, as that's where everyone will go, as they know there will be plenty of spaces. But the town also has plenty of smaller and medium-sized car parks just a short walk from the beach, where you can often get a better price.

We have searched for the best places to park in Skegness that are close or fairly close to the seafront, and how much they cost as of Wednesday, April 30. Not only have we found a range of car parks where you can park all day for just £8, we have also found one where it costs just £2 for 24 hours.

We have also located a few car parks where motorcycles can park for free, where you can park for free at certain times, and where you can park for £1 or less per hour if you're just having a quick visit.
