Renowned as one of Britain's premier surfing destinations, this sandy bay near Broadstairs attracts wave riders from across the country with its consistent surf breaks and dramatic cliff-backed setting. Even non-surfers are drawn to Joss Bay's wild beauty and relatively undeveloped character, where steep chalk cliffs create a natural amphitheater around the beach and coastal paths offer spectacular vantage points for watching both surfers and the ever-changing moods of the North Sea.
