Mablethorpe is the destination for the fictional Morel family's first holiday in the still popular [[D. H. Lawrence]] novel, ''[[Sons and Lovers]]'', published in 1913: "At last they got an answer from Mablethorpe, a cottage such as they wished for thirty shillings a week. There was immense jubilation. Paul was wild with joy for his mother's sake. She would have a real holiday now. He and she sat at evening picturing what it would be like. Annie came in, and Leonard, and Alice, and Kitty. There was wild rejoicing and anticipation. Paul told Miriam. She seemed to brood with joy over it. But the Morels' house rang with excitement."

Mablethorpe is the seaside setting for the [[Ted Lewis (writer)|Ted Lewis]] crime novel ''GBH'', published in 1980.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.npr.org/2015/05/07/404415996/gangsters-goons-and-grievious-bodily-harm-in-ted-lewis-london |title=Gangsters, Goons And 'Grievous Bodily Harm' In Ted Lewis' London |author=Powers, John |date=7 May 2015 |website=NPR.org |access-date=1 July 2020}}</ref> The novel was his last and has been described as a "lost masterwork".<ref>[https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/243527/gbh-by-ted-lewis/ About ''GBH''], [[Penguin Random House]].
