Season: autumn
Located in a rural setting just to the north of Broadstairs on the Thanet coast, Joss Bay is secluded, with steep chalk cliffs behind and with North Foreland golf course as its backdrop. The beach is popular with surfers and water sports enthusiasts. Swimming is safe here, with clean bathing water and a seasonal lifeguard service. Its name reputedly derives from Joss Snelling, a long-lived local eighteenth Century smuggler. Nowadays leisure is the name of the game and there are few more pleasant places to enjoy it in Kent.
Preparing for a big weekend.
