Viking Bay — Local services in Thanet

Typically pleasant British beachfront with numerous options for food and drink, including reasonably priced fish and chip shops. The beach is sandy with some rocky parts a little further into the surf. Lots of seaweed grows at these points, and the beach can be rather green - but it's perfectly safe to swim.

Broadstairs 🏖

If you are looking for a day by the seaside with everything that should be included, look no further... Broadstairs has it all!

From golden sands, coloured beach huts, sticks of rock, and of course fish and chips by the abundance, you won't be disappointed.

A day in Broadstairs really is like taking a step back in time, with all the history surrounding it as well there really is something for everyone.

Broadstairs is very proud of its links to Charles Dickens, you won't go far without seeing either somewhere the famous writer lived or something named after him. Broadstairs even has old victorian rides which are fully working and to be enjoyed by everyone.

All in all Broadstairs really is worth a visit and could even become your new favourite seaside town.

At the start of the beach front there are trampolines for the kids to play and also a cafe to get your food, drink and ice cream from. The beach has a lot of seaweed which made it smell a bit, but as it was really hot, and the sea was lovely to puddle in. We did a walking tour of the beach and you can see it on youtube if you search for Geek Street Travels and Viking Bay. We went for a day trip to Viking Bay and will definitely return again as there is lots to do, great amenities and the...
