Sandilands is a small neighbourhood located in Sutton-on-Sea, within the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is part of the larger area known as Mablethorpe and Sutton. This charming coastal spot is a popular place for visitors who enjoy the seaside.

Protecting Nature at Sandilands

The National Trust now owns the land where a golf course used to be in Sandilands. The National Trust is a charity that works to protect important places and spaces in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. They look after historic buildings, beautiful coastlines, and countryside areas.

This former golf course was once a large 18-hole course. It was a "links" course, which means it was built on sandy land near the coast. Now, the National Trust helps to protect this area for nature and people to enjoy.

Fun Sports and Activities

Sandilands is a great place for sports! A special family tennis tournament has been held here almost every year since 1928. The only time it didn't happen was between 1939 and 1957.

This exciting tournament usually takes place at the Grange and Links hotel. In 2022, some matches were also played on private tennis courts around the village. It's a fun tradition that brings families together for some friendly competition.
