The main attraction will be the seabirds, with observation possible directly from the visitor centre. You may also be lucky enough to observe some grey seals which frequently rest on the salt marshes. Seabirds you’re likely to see commonly include little terns and skylarks, while in autumn you’l be likely to see flocks of waders. In winter, the scene changes again as you’ll spot overwintering brent geese, shorelark, snow bunting and flocks of redwing and fieldfare.

Dogs are permitted on a lead, but seasonal limitations are in place on the foreshore and these will be clearly marked. The car park costs up to £3 for the entire day, with shorter stays available. There are a number of easy walks from Gibraltar Point, with the free leaflet – Countyside for All Gibraltar Point – providing an outline of these.

The purpose built building serves as the gateway to the Coastal Country Park which includes the entire section of England Coast Path between Chapel and Sutton on Sea and an ideal stop for those walking the Skegeness to Mablethorpe section. Inside there’s a gallery, Seascape Cafe, seating areas and public toilets. You can choose to enjoy your coffee or meal inside or on the terrace, with extensive views whichever you choose. In the gallery, there’s information about the Bathing Beauties and Structures on the Edge, a collection of art installations along the local coastline that are worth visiting while walking the section. The North Sea Observatory is child friendly as well as dog friendly, including the cafe for most of the day (contact them for specifics).

The Cloud Bar is part of the Structures on the Edge (SOTE) that can be found along the section of coast in the Coastal Country Park between Chapel and Sutton on Sea including Salt Licks, The Sound Tower, Round and Round House and the Reflector. It’s worth making the effort to find them all.
