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!

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
