Viking Bay is beautiful. We visited mid-March as the second “beast from the east” presented itself. It snowed for the first two days but somehow this only added to the ruggedness if the coastline. It certainly didn’t put a couple of local surfers off. Being off season meant that all amenities were closed but the beach huts and the Promenade are all beautifully maintained. It must be amazing in summer!

Returned to see the old place and it is just as happy with staff ready to help, a chance to win a big bear all proceeds to charity and with Christmas just around corner decorations will be up soon, making locals and visitors feel in the spirit.
4. Spitfire & Hurricane Memorial Museum

Reviewed By mr97man - Isle of Thanet, United Kingdom
It's a lovely little museum to visit. Although it's it only a couple of rooms, there's a lot to see, including the Hurricame and Spitfire aircraft. Another nice thing is that it's quiet, so you can really concemtrate on what you're looking at.
It's free to enter, parking is plentiful and wheelchair access is good.
Depending on how quick you go round, it will probably take about 30-45 minutes.

Ramsgate Royal Harbour is a working harbour, a ferry port (mostly unused) and an inner Marina. The inner marina contains about 150 yatchs, power boats and barges. You can walk right around the Marina although around high water the tidal gate is open for boat traffic and the foot bridge lifted. Along the Marine Parade are many places to eat and drink from Bistro’s to Wetherspoon (the largest in the UK) to Greek Tavernas.
Past the harbour is a long sandy beach perfect for swimming.

Very nice and a peaceful interlude away from the normal hussle and bussle of live. Obviously not for everyone but would recommend taking a little time out to relax and visit
8. The RAF Manston History Museum

Reviewed By nickpayne82 - Leatherhead, United Kingdom
Whilst visiting the Memorial Museum just across the car park is this wonderful museum covering the History of Manston as both an Airforce Base (1916 to 1999) and also its current use as a Commercial Airport. Lots of models and real plans, with lots to read and look at. Excellent story of the airfield and how was used across the decades. A small nominal entry fee of £2 per person. Really well done.

Beautiful clean sandy beach. Not as crowded as the main beach at Broadstairs.
Excellent facilities: VERY clean toilets, large car park, shop/ cafe, life guards and a children's area containing bouncy Castles. You could purchase a days pass for the children's area for £5 and the children could use it as much as they liked.
Was pleased to see on both of our visits there was a litter collector patrolling.
Beach is sandy and has easy access to rock pools at either end.
Car Park cost £7 for four hours if you used the app rather than cash.
Watch out for sea gulls who are very brazen about stealing packed lunches!!!
