What’s in the area
Broadstairs has long been loved for its nostalgic charm – a town of retro ice-cream parlours, boutique shops, galleries and excellent places to eat. With its mix of sandy beaches and lively high street, it’s easy to see why it became one of Charles Dickens’ favourite seaside resorts, the author having had a summer residence there (now Bleak House) and being a regular annual visitor between 1837 and 1859.
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. The high street, which stretches from the railway station to the beach, is lined with independent cafés and shops, perfect for refuelling between sights. For visitors looking for more unusual activities, the Broadstairs History Walks, Crampton Tower Museum and the annual Broadstairs Food Festival add extra depth to a stay.
Broadstairs offers plenty to enjoy without spending a penny. With no less than seven sand-filled beaches and bays, visitors can take their pick of the bunch for seaside strolls or picnics. Take a walk 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.
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.
