Isle of Thanet

Travel Guide

Walking sort of North from Ramsgate Harbour near the Granville Theatre. Pano obviously!!
Dumpton Gap, just south of Broadstairs in North East Kent, England is a quiet and long flat sandy beach that attracts dog walkers and those looking to get away from the main beach. Very picturesque and great for those who love to beachcombe where crabs and shells can be found amongst the seaweed.
Another one of the Broadstairs beaches in Kent, Viking Bay has a long stretch of sand and a long coastal walk leading to the other beaches.
A castle on one end and this beautiful natural formation on the other. The white cliffs in all of their glory with an arched side and loads of hidden caves when the tide is low. #LifeAtExpedia #Merch #England #EastCoast #Margate
You'll find this incredible castle, which is privately owned, closer to Broadstairs at Kingsbay beach. It's majestic structure and proximity to the beach is a site to behold. Definitely a must-see! #LifeAtExpedia #Merch #England #EastCoast #Margate

I was surprised at how pretty Broadstairs was. This clean and tidy little town has Viking Bay in it's city centre, a beautiful beach filled with activities. This image was taken in spring and didn't catch any crowds, I'm sure it fills up with nearby locals in the summer! #LifeAtExpedia #Merch #England #EastCoast #Broadstairs

The Turner Gallery reflected in the pool left by the receding tide. The Kings Stairs is a great place to sit and watch the #sunset #margate #kent #thanet #reflections #travel #tourism #travel #staycation I have really been struggling with a slump in my photography, i had no enthusiasm to get out and found it a real struggle. Tonight i decided i had to get out and shoot, i gathered all my gear, jumped in the car and headed out to capture Sunset at Margate, Kent. I parked a few streets away and walked down to the seafront and thus avoided any car parking charges https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jWmO8X8Yx8
