I like Mablethorpe because it is bad, but it always was........
it is a time warp, really not changed since the early 70's still got the same old 50's and 60's slot machines and games...

We used to have family holidays in Mablethorpe in the 70's!
Golden Sands caravan resort, if I recall correctly

We weren't well off enough to actually stop in Mablethorpe, we used to stop in Sutton on sea and travle the mile or so to get there...
You remember the cowboy manikin that you had to draw against then! in the arcade on the corner..

I really don't remember much about the place
just that the sand used to fucking sting your legs when it was windy. And it was ALWAYS windy.

I can't say I've ever been
but judging by your description, there's still a few places in Wales like that, really old game machines. The caravan site I'd stay on had an original Pole Position machine inside... probably still has.
It's not a bit like Blackpool, where everything is pretty much new. I'd never stay there though.

Its most unique feature is the smell!

Blackpool looks like the inside of a tramp's shopping trolley and smells like a chipshop worker's bumcrack

I was last in Blackpool about a year ago.
Preston being relatively close to it, I thought 'why not?' and went to see what had changed.
I spent most of my time in Coral Island anyway.
