Sheerness Beach — Attraction in Borough of Swale

We visited Sheerness seafront around lunchtime on a sunny Sunday in May having taken the coastal walk from Minster. We have both visited Sheerness many times before but this is our first review. Visitors to Sheerness seafront may either take the train to the well situated railway station or there is (pay and display) parking available at the Beach Street car park. In this area visitors will also find a large sand pit for younger children and also a sizable grassed area on which to enjoy the sun with the benefit of an ice cream kiosk. Public bus services also serve the area and the potential visitor may wish to investigate these options. The seafront is reached by crossing over the substantial concrete seawall / promenade area (disabled access via a ramp is available), and is mostly shingle though there are some patches of sand. The promenade is raised high above the shoreline and flights of stairs give easy access to the beach itself. Litter bins are provided at regular intervals and also benches should you wish to sit down and enjoy the view. There are some large ships that pass by making either for the nearby port facility or traveling up and down the Estuary. From the seafront the visitor can get some fine views of the Thames Estuary as it flows out into the North Sea and across the estuary can be seen the county of Essex and particularly the seaside resort of Southend. During our visit with the tide beginning to come in, we found a short sand bar going out to sea which we explored though this was predominantly covered in seashells of various types. There are Groynes crossing the beach at regular intervals. One of the resorts claims to fame, is the wreck of the World War 2 liberty ship ‘Richard Montgomery’ and the two masts of this ship may just be seen out to sea if you look carefully (and know where to look). Sheerness High street is a short walk away and here the visitor will find a varied collection of shops and also some places to get food and drink. Note that this area of Sheerness does not seem to have any public toilets and if you ask you will most likely be directed to either the nearby leisure centre, the McDonalds restaurant or the Tesco’s superstore. A good beach to visit if you like to be beside the sea or like a walk along the coast, I enjoy watching the gulls ride the wind. The beach itself is probably not best suited to a visit with a young family due to its predominantly shingly composition, and the nearby sand pit and grassed area by Beach Street may be a better option...

The Isle of Sheppey is a beautiful place to stay and explore. It has a wonderful coastline with plenty of sandy beaches and stunning views. There are also plenty of activities to do, such as visiting the historic Sheerness Beech, which has a lovely cafe and a wonderful view of the sea. The area is also home to some great wildlife, such as seals and seabirds, which can be spotted from the beach. Overall, the Isle of Sheppey is a great place to visit and explore, and the Sheerness Beech is a great place to take in the stunning views and enjoy a nice cup of coffee.

I recently visited the Isle of Sheppey for a weekend getaway and I had the pleasure of staying in Sheerness Beech. It was a lovely spot with great views and a pleasant atmosphere. The beach was clean and the sand was soft and inviting. There were plenty of activities to do, including swimming, kayaking, and building sandcastles. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious. Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Sheerness Beech and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable...

Located on the Isle of Sheppey. The surrounding area is quiet and a little abandoned looking.

There is a huge wall blocking the beach from the neighbouring homes to prevent the sea getting in.

Unlike a lot of beaches where you are instantly memorised by the smell of the sea and the awe inspiring blue as you arrive, it is not there in Sheerness.

The beach is pebbly with some sand underneath and the sea is inviting. It is a great place to chill and take it all in.

It is a local beach so overcrowding is unlikely to occur.

If you live in the South East of London, it is less than an hour to get to (giving traffic conditions).

There is not a whole lot to do in the beach area but I think it is enough, especially if your little...
