Saltfleet Haven is a small coastal village located in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. Positioned on the eastern coast of England, it lies between Mablethorpe and Cleethorpes. The village is primarily known for its picturesque sea, estuary, and creek.

The village is situated on the edge of the salt marshes that stretch along the coast. It is bordered by the North Sea to the east, with its long sandy beach attracting visitors for leisure activities such as sunbathing, picnicking, and beachcombing. The azure waters of the sea offer opportunities for swimming and water sports during the summer months.

To the north of the village, the Saltfleetby-Theddlethorpe Dunes National Nature Reserve encompasses a vast area of saltmarsh, sand dunes, and mudflats. This reserve is a haven for birdwatchers, as it provides habitat for a wide variety of bird species, including rare and migratory birds.

Saltfleet Haven is also blessed with an estuary and creek system. The Saltfleet Haven Creek, which meanders through the village, provides a sheltered haven for boats and yachts. It is a popular spot for sailing and fishing enthusiasts who can explore the winding waterways and cast their lines for a variety of fish species.

The tranquility and natural beauty of Saltfleet Haven make it an appealing destination for those seeking a peaceful coastal getaway. With its stunning sea, estuary, and creek, the village offers a range of recreational activities for visitors to enjoy while surrounded by the pristine coastal environment.
