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!

    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
    • So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
    • Hi - I’m looking for bean bags, cushions, toys and games for our play therapist who works weekly with some of our children. Any donations like board games, cuddly toys, dolls houses, action figures, dolls, puppets, easel etc would be very welcome. For Rushey Green Primary School
    • Disgusted by the people letting off fireworks so close to the petrol station by goose green!  Putting everyone else in serious danger! You'd think it was common sense to not have massive sparks so close to petrol. It is antisocial behaviour and I will call the police on individuals that do this for everyone's safety (including their own).
