What’s in the area
A quintessential seaside town, brimming with charm, from retro ice cream parlours to boutique shops and galleries, alongside excellent restaurants and tasty cafés, it’s not hard to see why this was one of Charles Dickens’ favourite holiday spots.
Broadstairs is known for its beautiful beaches such as Viking Bay, the charming Dickens House Museum, and the scenic North Foreland Lighthouse at Joss Bay. Its high street, meanwhile, stretches from the railway station to the beach and is host to many unique shops, cafés and restaurants, making it ideal for refuelling between sights.
With no less than seven sand-filled beaches and bays, Broadstairs offers plenty to do without having to spend a single penny. Take a stroll along the town’s coastal paths, visit the Broadstairs Bandstand for free concerts during the summer, or enjoy a picnic in the town’s lovely parks.
For something a bit different, why not take part in one of summer’s Broadstairs History Walks and explore the tales of the town in greater detail? Transport enthusiasts, meanwhile, will love the Crampton Tower Museum, dedicated to the Victorian engineer Thomas Crampton. Otherwise, check the cultural calendar for goings-on across town – the Bandstand in particular is a popular venue for local gatherings and events, such as the Broadstairs Food Festival.
Families will love the town’s sandy beaches, which include Botany Bay, Joss Bay, and Stone Bay. Budding conservationists aged 4-11 can take part in the engaging activities put on by the Thanet Coast Project (Seashore Safari is particularly popular!), while those interested in literature can pay a visit to the charming Dickens House and Bleak House Museum, both of which are connected to renowned author Charles Dickens. For easy entertainment to while away the hours on the seafront, the amusement arcades provide plenty of fun for all ages.
Weekends in Broadstairs can be spent enjoying the beach, exploring local history at the Dickens House Museum, or taking a coastal walk to nearby Margate or Ramsgate. There are also several cosy cafés and pubs to relax in, after a day of exploration.
