And just 2 hours from Nottingham
Rolling waves are the only sound... there's no slot machines arcades with pumping music or flashing lights, squeals from fairground rides or cries of eyes down for bingo. The sights and sounds that commonly permeate most East Coast seaside resorts are noticeable by their absence - and it's wonderful for those seeking a quiet break.
The majority of visitors are from the East Midlands and Yorkshire but the Cullen family are from Darlington. Grandmother Lynne says: "We were told that it was quieter than Skegness. We've never been here before. It's brilliant, we've had a really nice afternoon. The beach is just lovely and there's hardly anybody on it. We've been in the sea and played on the sand."
"We get a real mix of people... cyclists, families. If you want a nice relaxing time this is the ideal place to be - it's a perfect beach. It's nice and quiet." Knick knack lovers will be in their element at a quirky shop in the village, appropriately named Knick Knacks Antiques Emporium. Jam-packed with breakables and narrow aisles it's definitely not a place for children or the clumsy folk.
People don't go to Sutton for the nightlife - there's nothing like the Skeggy's Embassy Theatre or buzzing bars and clubs. You can get a drink at the social club, which occasionally has live music, the Beach Bar on the prom, or the Bacchus Hotel. With 23 bedrooms and five log cabins, the hotel owned by David Smith, is the biggest in the village.
The majority of guests at the Bacchus come from Nottingham, Sheffield, Derby and Leicester. "It's ironic that the number of guests we get from the south bank of the Humber are very few and far between. They tend to disappear to Scarborough and Bridlington even though they are closer than people from Notts and Derbyshire," says Mr Smith.
