Description:

This is the fourth installment on the Butlin's Beachcomber Bars featuring the Skegness location. The others were located at Minehead, Bognor Regis, Filey and Ayr.

All of the postcards I have from this Beachcomber feature the inside of the bar area.

The classic hula girl server and the south seas mural.

I like the décor in the postcard- a more understated Beachcomber. The stacked rum barrels are cool.
The signs advertise a coffee bar, a milk bar and the overhead sign is for the Hula Hula Pancake drink.

Another postcards with the redcoats in leis serving the drinks.
The drink signs advertise the Cuban, the Polynesian Coffee, the Hibiscus, the Outrigger, and the Bamboo.

Another interior postcard with the mural and stacked rum barrels.

Found this postcard on-line with a big Tiki showing on the right.

This is the only photo I could find of the exterior.

In 1974, a fire started in the Chinese ovens next to the Beachcomber and burned the building to the ground.

Trying to find and exterior shot of this place.
