Viking Bay, Broadstairs

View map of beach Parking available Toilets available SSSI Dog friendly Lifeguard cover May 26 to September 2 Beach cleaned regularly Good water quality for swimming

Season: autumn

Broadstairs is a quintessential seaside town, with a crescent beach at Viking Bay and a quaint harbour that features fishing boats to the north of the beach.  The town is well-to-do and has all the facilities that you’ll need.  History is all around you, for example Bleak House, where Charles Dickens wrote David Copperfield.  There is lifeguard cover in the summer and the bathing water is clean.  To top off the setting, there is a cliffside elevator at the southern end of the beach to save any weary legs from the walk up to town.  Viking Bay is highly diverse in its attractions.

    This is the top corner of Kent and I like the view from the top of the cliff. I have a coffee here every morning. The gardens are clean and tidy. It’s a nice place. It’ll do for me.
