The heart of Margate's seaside appeal lies in this classic sandy beach that has been welcoming visitors since Victorian times, complete with traditional donkey rides, Punch and Judy shows, and the historic Dreamland amusement park providing a backdrop of vintage charm. The beach's central location puts you within easy reach of the town's excellent restaurants, galleries including the acclaimed Turner Contemporary, and the atmospheric Old Town with its independent shops and cafes housed in Georgian buildings.
