On the coast {{Convert|2|mi|km}} to the east is the smaller hamlet of Anderby Creek, built on the side of a creek that leads out to sea. The beach at Anderby Creek has been mentioned in the Good Beach Guide.{{cite news|title=Guardian Newspaper Online|url=https://www.theguardian.com/environment/table/2009/may/22/recommended-beaches|publisher=The Guardian|access-date=1 May 2011|location=London|date=22 May 2009}}

There is a beach shop, cafe, village pub, and a few houses,{{Citation needed|date=April 2011}} and five caravan sites with access to the beach.

A drainage museum is housed in a drainage board pumping station erected in 1945.{{cite web|title=Anderby Drainage Museum|url=http://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/VenueDetails.aspx?venuecode=21600|publisher=shire County Council|access-date=24 April 2011|archive-date=22 October 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111022011255/http://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/VenueDetails.aspx?venuecode=21600|url-status=dead}}

There are also two wartime defensive structures,{{Citation needed|date=April 2011}} one inside the Sunkist Caravan Park near the Creek, and one near the wooded area that separates Anderby Creek from Marsh Yard.

The Creek is protected by the council against the development of modern tourist facilities, to preserve the unspoilt status of the area.{{cite web|title=Pictures of England – Anderby Creek|url=http://www.picturesofengland.com/England/Lincolnshire/Anderby_Creek|publisher=Pictures of England|access-date=24 April 2011}}
