Sandwich Bay
This Kent coast sweep of shingle fronts an interesting medieval town, well worth a weekend exploring: bring your pooch for beach walks.
On the east Kent coast, this long beach provides dog-walkers with miles of exercise, as windy north sea waves crash onto shingle sands. Halfway between the major coastal towns of Margate and Dover, this is a good stop-off for those escaping donkey rides and amusement arcades. There are lots of other activities to be found around the medieval town, some best seen by local tours. Pop in to the 17th century windmill that provides perfect photo opportunities of white clapboard against blue sky.
Or hop on a river bus for seal and wildlife spotting from Sandwich to the Roman fort at Richborough, itself well worth a visit, with traces of 1st century wooden buildings still on show. If ice creams and hot dogs are more your thing, Ramsgate is just at the northernmost end of the bay, and to maximise the enjoyment, visits can be coordinated to time with one of the annual events, like the Bucket and Spade Run, Battles for Victory or Addington Street Fair, all packing plenty of fun into your weekend visit.
