Sight Seeing

               
 
The Isle of Thanet encompasses the popular resorts of Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate: 15 sandy beaches and bays with eight coveted Blue Flags and one Quality Coast Award. Lively or quiet, take your pick. Join a Seashore Safari or get close to native seals on a boat trip from Ramsgate Royal Harbour.

Kent's southeast coast unfurls another ribbon of resorts. Revel in the Edwardian elegance of Folkestone, then at Hythe hop aboard a steam train to sandy beaches. Or create your own adventure on the marshes, broad sands and shingle stretches around New Romney and Dungeness.

There's also plenty to do in seaside towns as varied as historic Sandwich and quirky-chic Whitstable with its art galleries, craft shops and fine seafood restaurants.

Kent is home to a wide variety of different attractions: from beautiful castles and historic houses, from stunning gardens and stately homes to watersport adventures along the coast.  Whatever your interest, Kent's diverse personality is sure to capture your imagination.
