The Humberston Fitties (officially named the Humberston Fitties Chalet Park[1] and known locally as The Fitties) is a holiday resort that began as an inter-war plotland in the civil parish of Humberston, in the North East Lincolnshire district, in the ceremonial county of Lincolnshire, England.
Since the 1920s it has evolved to a resort of around 330 chalets and bungalows.[2] The Fitties' lagoon is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. In 2007 the Fitties were featured in the first ever "Quality Coast Awards" (now called "Seaside Awards") for "Best Places to Go for Coastal Isolation"[3] and in 2017 they were declared a conservation area.[4]
