Activities
Dog Friendly
Dogs allowed all year round

Tucked between Broadstairs and Ramsgate, this charming sandy beach offers a more intimate coastal experience with its enclosed bay setting and reliable facilities including beach huts, cafes, and convenient parking. The beach's gentle slope and generally calm waters make it particularly appealing to families, while the surrounding chalk cliffs provide a dramatic backdrop and shelter from prevailing winds, creating a microclimate that's often warmer than neighboring stretches of coast.

Nearby places to eat and drink

Sam's Bar is a little kiosk on the beach selling tea, coffee, soft drinks and a range of snacks. Alternatively, it's a short walk into the town of Broadstairs.
