The coastal town of Sandgate, also known as the Kent Riviera, lies between Folkestone and Hythe, along the English Channel coastline. The charming small town of Sandgate is quaint and has a selection of quirky shops along the High Street including local delis, coffee shops and microbreweries. The long promenade is fantastic for coastal walks or cycling in both directions, to Folkestone or Hythe. Take in the wonders of this delightful stretch of Kent coastline at our family-friendly or dog-friendly Sandgate holiday homes.
