Season: autumn

Impressive chalk sea stacks greet you on arrival at Botany Bay.  The beach here is the most northern of a cluster around well-to-do Broadstairs.  The strand is mostly sand with some shingle.  Swimming is safe, featuring clean bathing water and a seasonal lifeguard service.  At low tide you can enjoy rockpooling.  Just to the west is the artists’ enclave of Margate, so this area has a wide variety of visitor attractions.
