Dies ist ein typisch englisches Seebad Mut einer schönen alten Promenade und einer großen Anzahl von blühenden Blumenbeeten. Eine kurze Seebrücke lädt für einen Spaziergang ein, an deren Ende eine Konzertbühne für größere Musikveranstaltungen aufgebaut ist. Wie in allen englischen Seeorten üblich, reihen sich entlang der Promenade mehrere Spielhallen aneinander. Innerörtlich wirkt der Ort etwas einfach und zeigt keinerlei Besonderheiten, eben ein typisches englisches Straßenbild.

Not a bad place to visit only problem was the parking most machines are not working. Added the ap which was also a nightmare we paid cash machines are quite off-putting but once parked a nice walk along the bay.

Lovely pier. Little shops along the side, which is quaint and a few rides at the end. Shame it doesn't stretch a far as the old pier but quaint.

Pier was open but the huts on the pier were not open. Always nice to stroll along a pier. It's well maintained with plenty of seats.

Small but perfectly formed. The little retail village was a pleasant surprise. There's a stage at the end of the pier with a program of artists advertised

Quaint little pier with lots of beach hut type stalls lining the stretch before you find a pavilion of food and drink stalls. There is also a few rides for smaller children. Fabulous views.

Went to the bagel shack and had a salt beef bagel and it was delicious. Herne bay needs this. It was so good I went back for a Nutella 1. I will definitely be back the tea and hot chocolate was even good!

The beach is truly stunning, featuring clean, well-maintained gravel sand, and the water is quite clear with a sandy bottom. It's definitely a must-visit during the summer months. Conveniently, there is nearby parking available at no charge for up to four hours currently. The surrounding scenery is breathtaking. The only downside was that the pier was disappointing as it was closed and not available for children's activities, despite visiting on three different occasions. However, I would still suggest families visit this beach for its beauty and the wonderful walking experience it offers.

Прекрасно и приятно място за разходка, има къде да поседнеш или пък да хапнеш, ако огладнееш. Има прекрасни магазинчета по крайбрежната алея и уникален английски чай!
