Lovely clean beach which offers great views from the slopes. Make sure to visit on a clear day and you'll see the most amazing sunset. Loads of free parking on Marine Parade and surrounding residential roads.

Located a stone's throw from the harbour and named after an old fishing boat, the Smack Inn captures all the spirit of the Whitstable seaside - even boasting a beach - inspired beer garden complete with colourful beach huts. It's a family-friendly pub promising a warm welcome to all who come aboard. Tucked away behind the high street, its the prefect place to escape the tourist crowds.

Discovered this little gem of a pub whilst out walking. We have walked past on previous trips to Whitstable but it always looked a little neglected so on this occasion we were bowled over by the transformation that we just had to pop in to satisfy our curiosity. It is now a very welcoming place with a lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. The food was delicious and served with a smile. Also impressed with the COVID-19 safety practises and the forms for track and trace. We felt reassured and safe to be eating out at this pub. We sat in the garden which is lovely with a boat deck theme.

Stretching from just south of Whitstable Harbour to neighbouring Seasalter is the privately owned West Beach. The owner is the Whitstable Oyster Fishery Company so I think this beach must be unique in having a sign saying "It is illegal to harvest oysters without permission". It is an old-fashioned beach, no piers, amusements or donkey rides; just shingle divided by wooden groynes. There are weatherboard cottages, fishing boats pulled up on the shingle and beach huts. [If you look at the photographs, I don't know who Ed was but I hope his dreams came true]. It is also good news for those who have four footed companions because the Beach is dog friendly. And for the photographers, the Beach is west facing so ideal for those sunset shots. All in all, it's a perfect place for walking in the fresh air.
