How bad is SKEGNESS? UK’s worst rated seaside town!
Join us on an eye-opening day trip to Skegness, as we embark on a quest to uncover the truth behind its notorious reputation as the UK's "worst" seaside town. Brace yourself for an intriguing exploration of this coastal gem as we delve into its high street, iconic attractions, and critically examine the quality of its sandy beaches and pristine waters. As our adventure unfolds, we cap off the day with a delectable dining experience at San Rufos, Skegness' highest-rated restaurant, where we share our candid opinions on both the day's adventures and our scrumptious meal. Prepare for an unforgettable journey as we challenge preconceptions and reveal the hidden treasures that lie beneath the surface of Skegness.

‘Let me turn you around and show you what’s over here’ 😂 That was brilliant. I couldn’t make the premiere as I was out, but actually I’m glad as I was able to focus on your video rather than the chat forum. That was brilliant and I give it ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👍♥️

Thanks so much Phil. i see so many channels doing this spin you around to reveal and it really tickles me, until recently i never realised it is actually a great reveal as it builds suspense and humour! “you wont believe what ive just seen, let me spin you round” 😂 im doing it at work and at home now when not filming. we are that silly! thanks for the great comment, have an awesome weekend ♥️ 📸
Had to watch this on my phone, as our 3 year old grandson is stopping overnight. I remember 'bracing' Skegness very well as we had 2 back to back holidays there 38 years ago. A lot seems to have changed but I would say for the better, as what you showed looked very good and the food looked amazing at that Italian. If Mrs Metalman was not in bed I would be on the phone to the local pizza for a 16 inch BBQ chicken pizza with 10 inch garlic bread. We never went back after I got stuck in the mud, which was covered by a massive pool on the beach and I started to sink (long story) but that apart, I have fond memories of Skeggy. Excellent review, cheers Alan

that sounds amazing Alan. well growing up in Blackpool a lot of my mates went to Skegness because they wanted that home from home holiday experience! i always came to Scarborough, wanted that more family high brow experience, but my mates always swore by this place. they would come back with smiles from ear to ear and amazing stories. track forward twenty/thirty years Skegness is legendary for being the WORST seaside resort with possibly the WORST crime rates in the country. i had to know more, at any cost. im definitely not adverse to any unpleasantness its a part of my skin, like water off a ducks back. but hand on heart, this place is a gem, we stuck around until the evening and genuinely did interview the locals. they were all off their nut and exceptionally happy to be so. it was genuinely lovely to see. i wont make that footage film, they are all darlings and great to speak to. the love that came across for their home town was MASSIVE. we will venture back and maybe do it better justice. our first time and we loved it. we can name at least thirty seaside towns, top of our heads, that need to be making lists. SKEGNESS ROCKS ♥️

Viva Las Skeggy has had the official GEN-X stamp. LOVED IT.

Who doesn't love crazy golf and an aquarium! The boating lake looked really nice! and the waterfall what a nice touch! Great video, really enjoyed it! x

Hi Nick and Jill, haven't been to Skegness for a little while, but it didn't look that bad to me.

Back from work!!! Big tv on and a bit of GenX - loving all the mobility scooters! Looks like many a 2p falls in there. To be fair it looks alright! Clock tower looks like rhyl!! Don’t know why the place reminds me of Southport! Jill that was Jurassic park and not E.T. The beach does seem quite far away. But it’s a stunning beach. Mmmm sea does look a bit brown! Yes 2p arcade games! Definitely reminds me of Southport. Some of the architecture is a bit brutal, but on the whole it looks like a charming place. Diavola is always our go to pizza. Yes guys with the V/O - welcome to the V/O world! We’d definitely visit there. Great review guys, you did the place proud! Cheers 🍻

good spot guys, its very similar to Southport, a lot of people claim its the Blackpool of the East but it’s definitely way more comparable to Southport! The 2p arcade slots are great fun but we learnt from our trip to Whitby not to play too long, we only spent 10p and we were there an hour! as soon as that piggy started dishing out money we were off! yes just have to get the balance right. the BGM in the restaurant was a concern although it is over 70 years old which i think is the cut off for copyright. we will be doing a LOT more food and V/O in these coming months. think the answer will be keeping quiet and doing slow gestures whilst eating with full voice over later! 👍 its still a learning process for us! ♥️ 🍻 thanks for watching and wonderful comment

Hi Seeing the title of this video I awaited it with apprehension. I was born in Lincolnshire & lived there until moving to Cumbria aged 19, so this was my local resort & I was hoping you were going to be kind 🤗. I need not have worried 😁 I spent many happy hours on the beach there in my younger days with lots of my family though to be fair it was more often just down the coast at Chapel St Leonard's where the sand was much nicer. It was a day on th beach followed by afternoon tea at Bonnets cafe or if my grandad was paying , the County Hotel 😆 A real traditional seaside resort , you showed off the town in it's true form and I agree while not the kind of place I rush to these days I think it's not as bad as some haha The clock tower is always great to see and the pier also ( been to the night club there a few times 😆)Shame the gardens need a bit of TIC, I do return to Lincolnshire every 6 weeks or so but a while since I've been to Skeggy ... it's so bracing 🤣😃I must make the effort to fit in a trip there, though in reality it's more likely to be just on the outskirts to Gibraltar point where there is a nature reserve and the chance of some solitude 😊

Loved the start of Skegness Hight Street which featured an outstanding Costa. Liked the Clock Tower but would have liked a visit inside. That dinosaur looked plastic to me. The frothing sea is a natural phenomenon in the seas all around the world. It’s cause by various minerals etc crashing and mixing with rocks and raw sewage. It won’t do you any harm unless you ingest it. Skeggy Pier looked lovely but would have liked to have seen more of that gymnast. First time in the restaurant that I’ve ever seen Nick without a hat on, yes can fully understand why he keeps it on. Can’t believe you both ate all that pizza and crispy chips!

Hey Gill and Nick, I was interested to see your view of Skeg as I don't understand why it is rated worse, as there are way worse. For this type of seaside resort, I think it does it really well. We went there for a visit last month, although on a quiet day, so no donkeys and the fair was closed, so I'm just in the middle of editing mine! Love the Jurassic Park tune Jill lol.

Thanks, you too! We actually loved Skegness couldn’t find anything bad about it, so much to see and do! hope you are all well, Charlie too ❤️
I've never been to Skegness but it certainly didn't look any worse than any other popular UK destinations like Blackpool for example. Good job Nick and Jill.

our first time too Andy and we loved it! ❤️ have a great weekend 👍
I've never been to Skegness, so was interested to watch! Although "seaside resorts" aren't particularly my thing, I think Skegness gets a bad rap! Thanks for showing us round, cheers Alistair 👍

thank you so much Alistair. i don’t think it deserves its reputation, i can name a dozen seaside towns that are way more deserving. the locals were welcoming, i got no sense of any crimes being committed and everyone was enjoying themselves. cough, cough, hopefully nobody is reading this other than you but compare it to the likes of Fleetwood or Redcar and there is still far worse. thank you so much for watching, hope you are well and surviving this intense heatwave!
I live near Gt ,Yarmouth but will often come to skeggy for a break,luv the place.

it was a bit windy but the sun was out in force! Low to Mid 20s I think. 🥵
The train station seems deserted.I think the town got left behind, looks like they`ve not made an effort since the 80s still brilliant share,I agree the town is "tired" in many ways thanks so much

Thank you 🤗 it was a great day so much to see and do! Think you may be referring to the padlocks on the pier, we believe it’s a tradition that has come across from Europe where lovers but padlocks on bridges/piers in places they visit together to lock in their love ❤️ 🤷🏻♀️ we think 🤣

I thought Skegness was quite nice and not as bad as people think. Like the way you have put your names up on the screen in this and the captions on screen too😃 I liked the beach but then I like all beaches. Love beach donkeys too and the pizza looked great. Hehe loved the voiceovers advertising the food 🤭 This was great 😃👍~ Anna❤

thank you so much Anna, this is week 2 of our 3 month pandering session. things on a budget, worst places, food porn, all will be massive going forward. hopefully not sold out too much, this is always something we would genuinely enjoy. had great fun filming this and the other four videos we did back to back at this time. we are now dieting and hiking massively so we can hopefully film another months worth of videos in a months time. have an awesome weekend ♥️ 🏴

That sounds amazing Rachel. Probably the same time i was banging out cassette tunes on my XR3i around Blackpool. My car broke down every week without fail, although I don’t think the cassette player ever let me down! Skegness, the Blackpool of the East ♥️
