Hit the A2 then M2 then A2 then A299 and in 80 mins get to the little roundabout at Birchington, turn left, then a bout a mile down take a right and find thecoast then with the sea on your left, just follow it round all the way to Ramsgate and pick a bay, (in not the right order) you'll find Minnis Bay Westgate, Broadstairs, Viking Bay, Louisa Bay, Joss Bay, (great Captain Digby Pub restaurant on the cliff above), Palm Bay, Walpole Bay Cliftonville (Newgate Gap) and there are the beautiful beaches aplenty. And they constantly win the Blue Flag clean beaches award, probably mainly because no-one goes there anymore since everyone started going to Spain for their summer hols! Just get to the far end of the A299 where it hits .
i completely agree PEckham Rose, Whitstable is closest but Thanet nicer. However there is a lovely strip of shingle at WHitstable and you can be surrounded by kite surfers and that is quite exciting. They look a bit like the milk tray man when they are all lycred up and land on the beach in front of you;-)

I know how you feel - its very therapeutic to escape from the city and see the sea again! Yay!


Why not hit the Essex coastline - Walton-on-the-naze, its fab but will prob take a bit longer to get to than Brighton/Whitstable/Broadstairs.


PS. there is NEVER any parking in Whitstable at weekends. Ever.

PPS. Bridport in Dorset is EVEN better :) Take Monday off too!

    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
    • We can't use our kitchen for a while and so looking for an air fryer to plug the gap. Please let me know if you have a good one in working order.  07702 305 310 Thanks
