Westbrook Bay — Attraction in Thanet

Lovely sandy beach. There is just one cafe and gift shop. No rides or other entertainment. My advice is to bring your own food if you are planning to stay a while. But bring it wrapped to avoid the sand getting to it. A tent or something to provide shade is recommended. If you have chairs I would bring these along as the lovely sand does tend to get into everything and everywhere. Beach shoes are recommended especially when the tide goes out. Hats, sun cream and talcum powder to get the sand off are important. Bring a bag to carry away any rubbish. I would look up the tide times as there's a few hours where young kids for example can't splash about as the water is too far out. They can certainly build lots of sand castles though.

A little gem of a beach, tucked away not more than a few hundred meters from the Canterbury Rd between Margate and Westgate-On-Sea. Only 1 ⭐️ because; the facilities are shocking (the toilets date back to pre-decimalisation as far as I can tell) and the cafe appears to have closed in 1978 - the same time as everything else in the area by the look of it. there are a number of outfall pipes running into the sea - which is a bad look these days. on street parking… which is free (yay) but far from plentiful (boo).

This spot has bags of potential - come on Thanet council - pull...
