Season: autumn
Located just to the east of Margate, Walpole Bay has a long sandy beach with a tidal pool and this is a safe place to swim, with seasonal lifeguard cover. Behind the beach are tall chalk cliffs and the short walk into Margate is flat and scenic. Water sports are popular here, with jet skis for hire. With a cafe and a games centre near to the beach, you can also enjoy a round of crazy golf on the upper promenade. In short, you’re discreetly away from the town, but with plenty to enjoy.
