Sunny Sands

Reviewed By surenjoy - Greater London, United Kingdom

we visited Folkestone beach it’s a lovely beach with crystal clear waters and they have cafe and ice cream shop close at beach ???? and paddle board hire directly next to it. The raised walk way runs along the end of the beach with stairs leading to the east cliff, built under the walkway is a series of quirky tunnels that if your get there early enough to claim one, offer the ideal shade out the sun. The beach further down one end is covered in rocks and at low tide is perfect for rock pool and crabbing.

Reviewed By TimeTraveler1st - London, United Kingdom

Beautiful Shingle Beach clean pretty picturesque. A tranquil beach lovely sunsets the beach clears by 8pm in the evening and at 6am the local authorities clear the beach of what little litter has been left by the less conches of the visiting public. The little village has antique shabby chic shops and lost of lovely coffee shops and eateries. Quintessential English Sea Side 2.2 miles from Folkestone along the esplanade on the left and Hythe 3 miles to the right. Clean beach award for I think it was 6 years on the trot. Love it
