Minnis Bay

Reviewed By FrankMiall - Chatham, United Kingdom

Looking for quiet beach walk, wonderful views, sandy beach, wide walk paths open space, green meadow, room for dogs to run, shells for carpet to walk on and lastly relaxing deep sea air to breath in. I think I've painted the pictures. Don't tell everyone.. We will be back..

Viking Bay

Reviewed By SueW80

This beach is wonderful all year round but during the summer season it is especially interesting. There are activities for younger children, for example, bouncy castles, swingboats, a vintage roundabout and Punch and Judy Show. There is also a watersports school offering surfing, stand-up paddling and kayaking for older children and adults. There are lots of cafes on the beach and around the promenade. It is a really traditional English seaside resort - quaint, charming and very photogenic!

Westbrook Bay

Reviewed By MikeJD2015 - Rochester, United Kingdom

We've been coming to Margate since I was a child and this is the first time I have stepped into Westbrook beach, it's a lovely stretch of golden sand, much quieter than its busy neigbour and better for it, ideal for a winter walk, blue skies and all.

West Bay Beach Westgate-on-Sea

Reviewed By williamjX188WR

This bay gets the sun all day, the sand is washed by the sea each day and it has the best sunsets of all the bays in Thanet.

St Margaret's Bay Beach

Reviewed By pirate012015 - Chepstow, United Kingdom

Great little bay to just sit and watch the world go by , plenty of activity on the water watching the shipping, planes overhead and trains somewhere under the sea! car park next to sea ,refreshments on hand and the required facilities, take your chair with you and sit and enjoy this lovely little bay, but drive carefully the road down is tricky.

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.

Stone Bay

Reviewed By hawkes2an - Cranbrook, United Kingdom

Just round the corner from Viking Bay (the main beach at Broadstairs) is the lovely Stone Bay. There's a promenade from Viking Bay to Stone Bay som its accessible for both pushchair and wheelchair users. Sone Bay, with its long stretches of sand, is a great beach for familys and for taking a walk on. At this time of the year it's also dog friendly because you can take your dog onto the beach at any time but, from May to September, dogs are not allowed on the beach between the hours of 10.00 am and 6.00 pm.

Dymchurch Beach

Reviewed By JudithTintern - Yeovil, United Kingdom

We parked at the far end of the Martello car park - take change as it costs more with the ap. We launched our kayak from the beach and paddled round the bay. Great for kayaking, very clean beach, great for a beach day or a romantic evening walk.
