Southend IS nearer. But a terrible drive.. Blackwell tunnel.. A13 A127.. constant speed limit changes and cameras.

Has good parking on Sea Front. Paid.


I thought it was Pebbles.. or does it now have sand.. ?


Foxy

Herne Bay which is about ten miles short of Margate is good. Lots to do there. Reculver which is about two miles further on has a large sandy beach if you want peace and quiet. There is an Abbey ruin and a caravan site with a pub but not much else.

Yes thats right..


I remember now.. When I was a kid 50's it was actually shingle not pebbles...


May 2010..


THE Three Shells Beach in Southend has received a makeover with a hundred tonnes of fresh sand.


Lorries made the mammoth delivery today, timing the operation carefully when the tide was at its lowest ebb.


Those spreading the sand then had to work against the clock to ensure it was evenly distributed across the beach by the time waves reached the shore once again.


The project has been funded by Philip Miller, owner of The Three Shells Beach Cafe

It's Brighton that has pebbles..

The beach is sandy (ish) in parts at Minster at low tide. But it also has the sinking variety so I'd be careful and the 'cliffs' are marching their way into the sea . However, it is the second best fossil beach in the UK and it's very quite at the end bit, near the wrecked boat. There's also the wild sea cabbages on that stretch to, have a nibble but they are protected species I think


Parking near the Beach Hotel and walk up the the concrete prom until it stops, thereafter on the path.


But if you want sand, then West Beach at Lilttlehampton maybe? Or Witterings

My favourite beach is Wedt Wittering. Great sandy beach & sand dunes managed by Nat'l Trust. You pay about ?7 to park at the beach but it is worth it as beautifully landscaped. Laid out with grass so families can play ball games and have picnics & BBQ on the grassy areas just by the sandy beach. Crabbing pools so bring bucket & bacon to catch one! Sailing club etc. Top beach! I know someone who has a 3 bedroom cottage they rent out that is gorgeous and a walk to the sandy beach. We stayed for Easter and had a fab time even tho weather wasn't great then. Top pick!

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.

This not-for-profit, worker-run, wheelchair accessible music and arts venue at 213-214 Edward Place SE8 5HD THE CRISIS: From Liv, Grace & Sonia, On Friday 31st October, there was a flash flood in Deptford, and we found ourselves with water pouring in through the lighting fixtures, damaging our electrics and sound system.
