Cleethorpes (/ˈkliːθɔːrps/) is a seaside town on the estuary of the Humber in North East Lincolnshire, Lincolnshire, England^[2] with a population of 29,678 in 2021.^[3] It has been permanently occupied since the 6th century, with fishing as its original industry, then developing into a resort in the 19th century.
