Westbrook, Margate and around
Beach and esplanade
Perfect for swimming at high tide and for walks, games and searching rock pools at low tide.
Walk east at sunset for fantastic views.
The esplanade is part of the Viking Cycle trail, although you must dismount at peak times, from where you can cycle east to Reculver and west to Broadstairs with very little on road cycling.
