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!

this is a nice cosy pub (if it is the correct one that I am thinking of... pretty sure it is though)


think they also have a bit of live music at the w/e


near the sea too


the other one that is fab it the Zetland Arms at Kngsdown, just along from Deal... it is ON the beach (not by it)

    • It certainly was😁 Bob S
    • Niko was recommended to me through a group chat for my road, where everybody raves about him. I soon realised why as he did an amazing job installing an outdoor tap for me. I needed it done quickly but had a hectic schedule, and Niko did everything possible to accommodate this, bringing the parts and working late on a Friday, having worked out the best solution for my maze of pipes. The tap looks great and works amazingly with good pressure. He made minimal mess and cleaned everything up, and charged me a very competitive price. On top of that he is delightful to chat to and willing to give advice on other matters. He’s a lovely man and will be my go-to for any issues in the future! Recommend to anybody in the Dulwich/ Peckham/Camberwell area!! 
    • We've used Aria a couple of times - this time a tap that was causing water hammer elsewhere in the house, he replaced it and checked all was well. He was prompt, quick in his work, and charged what he said he would. Will use him again.  
    • Hi I found a phone on the pavement near the bus stop half way up lordship lane opposite M&S and have handed into one of the estate agents there (KFH). Please call in there if you have lost it.
