General presentation
Whitstable, Margate et Broadstairs
North coast of Kent, between oyster ports, beaches, low cliffs, galleries and seaside resorts.
To understand what Whitstable, Margate and Broadstairs are, you have to look at Whitstable, Margate and Broadstairs. These places give us the opportunity to see a territory marked by coastline, heritage and urban life and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be expected: variable coastal weather and strong influx on sunny weekends. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Coastal port
Whitstable
Whitstable is distinguished by an active coastal port, facades and a water front that gives an immediate atmosphere. The walks mix sea odors, fishing vessels and long views of the shore. Coming there earlier, you better capture the local rhythm before the animation of the day.
Beach resort
Margate
Margate is a seaside resort that combines coastal front, urbanity and cultural heritage, with street and sea sequences that respond. The place becomes interesting in transitions rather than in clichés: docks, walking quarters and points of light. This builds a living image of the coast.
Bay
Botany Bay
Botany Bay is a bay that is very clear in its contrasts between sand and sea, with a light that highlights the coastline. The place is sufficient for a simple walk, punctuated with long breaks where the sea and the wind regain control. An early evening view often offers a good intensity.
Bay
Broadstairs
Broadstairs mixes coastal village and beaches with changing light, with perspectives that gradually open from the main streets to the sea. The best passages are these small detours where noise is falling and geography is taking the foreground. The place reads well when you take a breathable walk.
