A WOMAN in her 60s has sadly died after a lifeboat rescued her from the sea.
The RNLI raced to the scene as a major search was launched for the woman.
An air ambulance also scrambled to Skegness beach in Lincolnshire.
She was rescued from the water at about 5pm and brought back to shore yesterday.
However Lincolnshire Police said she was unable to be saved and sadly died.
A spokesperson from the RNLI confirmed a lifeboat was launched and CPR carried out on a person at the beach.
Skegness has previously been referred to as a “vulgar hellhole” but now a £23 million development is set to upgrade the visitor experiences.
The Lincolnshire town has been described as a “terrible place” with a “brown sea”, even ranking among Britain’s “worst” seaside towns.
Which? Magazine readers voted it bottom of the poll of seaside resorts in 2023.
The following year Skegness placed fifth, with only Bangor ranking lower.
As part of the survey, 120 UK seaside towns were rated on various features such as the seafront, noise levels, food and drink , and shopping .
Skegness scored just one star for its scenery and noise levels in both 2023 and 2024.
It achieved a slightly higher two stars for its food and drink, shopping, and tourist attractions.
And with a recent rail upgrade announced by East Midlands Railway (EMR), high-end transport is sure to become a draw for the area.
