Broadstairs

A stroll around Broadstairs is a journey of discover with a lovely surprise around nearly every corner.

You'll wander along the main thoroughfares and be enticed into quirky little lanes where tiny flint houses and fishermen's cottages nestle together comfortably, as they have done for years, and where unusual small shops draw you in to browse their wares – quirky jewellery, unusual clothes and edible delicacies from around the world.

A promenade amble reveals charming gardens, great for relaxing in with a delicious homemade ice cream, whilst a clifftop stroll uncovers seven beautiful beaches and bays, each a little different. The resorts main beach, Viking Bay, has a small harbour, children's amusements and garden on the sands! Joss Bay is more rural and offers great surfing opportunities, whilst Botany Bay is quieter and more secluded and can feel a million miles from anywhere – absolute bliss when you want to laze around and recharge your batteries.

The quiet charm of Broadstairs belies the entertainment opportunities there are. The resort has a full calendar of events from the annual Dickens Festival and Folk week to a great free summer entertainment programme and there are a mouth-watering number of restaurants, bistros, cafes and pubs to choose from – you could eat your way around the world.
